It's been a chastening transfer window for Manchester United so far, but one which should give new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe a good idea of exactly what needs to change at Old Trafford.
The British billionaire, not yet in charge of football operations but still being kept across developments while his 25% stake is ratified, has seen players worth more than £100 million ushered out of the door as they look to restart their careers elsewhere.
Two examples include Donny van de Beek, who was signed for £40m from Ajax in 2020 and has now joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan, and Jadon Sancho, a £73m signing from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, who has agreed to a temporary deal to return to his former club until the end of the season.
