Manchester United have changed their structure and operation as a club under new shareholders, Ineos.

The arrival of the British company at Old Trafford has excited fans and given the club a facelift, both institutionally and in terms of sport.

With Jim Ratcliffe at the helm, the ‘Red Devils’ have finally revamped the sporting side of the club with the signing of Dan Ashworth as sporting director from Newcastle and the arrival of former Manchester City academy manager Jason Wilcox as technical director.

All this suggests that the Manchester United, bolstered by the capital from Ineos, will be investing heavily this summer. And, of course, many names are already being bandied about.

Fabrizio Romano has already reported that Manchester United are leading the race to sign Zirkzee as a striker and De Ligt for the defence, two players who would undoubtedly give a boost to the quality of the squad.
The Dutch centre-back would accompany a recovered Lisandro Martínez, who will provide strength on the left side. As for Zirkzee, he is a ‘9’ who plays outside the box and makes his teammates play, an interesting profile for the combinative style that the Dutch coach wants to impose.

The continuity of Erik ten Hag means that Old Trafford will continue to welcome many Dutch players or players with a past at Ajax, as Edson Álvarez is also being considered.

In addition, from England, they also claim that United are fighting with Real Madrid for Leny Yoro. The investment will be strong, as Milos Kerkez, Manuel Ugarte or João Neves, among others, are also targets for a squad revolution to bring Manchester United closer to the top of the Premier League.

After a more than worrying eighth place finish last season, Erik ten Hag’s side must at least fight to qualify for the Champions League and seek stability through this project led by the Dutchman and the new sporting management, who are looking to improve the squad.
We will see if a club that has been characterised by devouring talented players in recent years, such as Jadon Sancho, Memphis Depay or Raphael Varane, who have failed to succeed at Old Trafford, is capable of this. We will see what kind of squad he manages to build and how the new signings will perform under pressure from the English giants.
What version of Manchester United can we expect this season?
