Can Man United boss Ten Hag succeed where Solskjaer failed in the transfer market with squad rebuild?

It was after a 4-0 defeat at Everton in April 2019 that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suggested it was the end of the road for some of the Manchester United players he had inherited from Jose Mourinho.

Appointed caretaker manager in December and then permanent boss three months later, Solskjaer was looking to build United's next great team and after watching a shambolic performance at Goodison Park, he warned some of his squad that they wouldn't be part of it.

"We can't change the whole squad but it's one step at a time," said Solskjaer.
