Transfer Budget: £31.4m, Available Wages: £286k

It's quite surprising that Manchester United have such a large wedge of cash remaining after splurging a small island nation's GDP on Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Eric Bailly this summer, but they're well equipped here. There's enough money in the kitty to bolster the squad with at least one first-teamer or a handful of youngster, though United's squad does have a few notable flaws.

The right flank is relatively week across the board, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Wayne Rooney aren't getting any younger. There's some work to be done, though the Red Devils' initial transfer budget is plenty to tide you over for the first season.
