Why Man United's summer business is a sign of positive change at the club

Manchester United have signed five players this summer , including Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee .

Sources have told ESPN that a larger team of senior figures meant United were able to move more quickly in the market.

Omar Berrada in place as CEO, Dan Ashworth as sporting director and Jason Wilcox as technical director began to pay off in mid-July .

Manchester United only paid the full asking price for Yoro Ugarte .

Club were disciplined about valuations given to players who were going to come in.

Sources tell ESPN that there are concerns at United about the ongoing financial impact of the deals that yielded Antony and Casemiro .

Of the 32 transfers completed by United in the window, 13 were player exits including midfielder Scott McTominay .

United were open to offers for Christian Eriksen and Casemiro even though both are expected to get opportunities to play this season .

Berrada and Ashworth are backing Ten Hag, for now, but it's noteworthy that the decision to extend Ten Hag's contract was taken in June before they took up their new roles.
