So now we know who’s in charge, the next step is to build a team good enough to challenge.
Manchester United fans are excited about the future – and if their new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gets who he wants this summer, there’s every reason to be.
The new full-time United boss has some big ideas and the board have promised to back his vision.
If he gets his way in the transfer market during the close season, there’s no reason not to believe the club can challenge for the Premier League title once again.
Here’s the team we think Solskjaer could be planning to piece together.

GK: David de Gea
The goalkeeper signing a new deal would be just as huge news as their biggest summer signing.
RB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Crystal Palace will want serious money for their young star but he could be an incredible investment going on his form this season.
CB: Victor Lindelof
He’s come on leaps and bounds under the new manager and just needs the ideal partner.

CB: Kalidou Koulibaly
Don’t tell Carlo Ancelotti but it’s very unlikely United are going to take his ‘not for sale’ as an answer.
LB: Luke Shaw
He’s had a good season and finally seems to be injury free and back to the full-back we know he is.
CM: Paul Pogba
A player transformed and having at one point seemed on his way, he is now critical to the club’s future.

CM: Ander Herrera
Now he knows who’s in charge, could the promise of a title push next season keep him in Manchester?
AM: Jesse Lingard
There’s no doubt he would fit into this new-look team perfectly.
RW: Jadon Sancho
If United can pull off the transfer of the summer then hope suddenly hope turns to expectation.

CF: Romelu Lukaku
Solskjaer says there’s so much more to come from the centre-forward. He’d love this team.
LW: Marcus Rashford
If United can keep him out of Barcelona’s clutches then what a formidable attack they would have.
