Episode notes

Erik ten Hag faces a crucial summer as he begins life in the Old Trafford hot seat ahead of the 2022/23 season with some key transfer calls incoming at Manchester United.

Host Feargal Brennan is joined by Squawka's chief football writer Muhammad Butt and the Evening Standard's Premier League journalist James Robson to assess the latest picture at United.

The team highlight five key areas potentially in need of strengthening in the coming months including their options in goal, at right back, defensive midfield, central midfield and attack.

Long-terms concerns over David de Gea and Aaron Wan-Bissaka could be priorities for ten Hag, with the ever present need for a defensive midfielder only increasing the speculation over a mega money move for England star Declan Rice.

Plus Paul Pogba's exit will leave a gaping hole at Old Trafford, with a replacement/partner for Cristiano Ronaldo, another key focus for in the new man at United.
