United had a busy summer bringing in a number of exciting young players, most notably Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, while others such as Manuel Ugarte and Matthijs de Ligt are also young enough to be long-term options, although they also provide experience from his previous stays at other top European clubs.
