It has been a summer of chaos for Manchester United — both good and bad.
Their transfer window started with the high-profile departures of Alessia Russo and Ona Batlle, who left on free transfers.
United tried and failed to convince both players to stay. Russo joined Arsenal, who had attempted to sign her in January only for two world record bids to be rejected by United, while Batlle signed for Barcelona.
After their most successful season, which included a first FA Cup final and Champions League qualification, it appeared United were going backwards rather than forwards.
