With Champions League football still hanging in the balance, United know they must strengthen.
However, financial constraints remain central to their planning.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS face the dual challenge of reshaping the senior squad and fixing years of mismanagement.

Widespread staff cuts and unpopular ticket price hikes have already signaled a more ruthless and financially disciplined era at Old Trafford.
Now, a rare contract detail has surfaced — potentially giving United an exclusive shot at a prolific forward.
Serhou Guirassy holds £58m release clause
According to Bild, Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy has a €70m (£58m) release clause in his contract, but it is reportedly valid only for a select group of elite clubs.
The 29-year-old, who joined Dortmund from VfB Stuttgart last summer, has enjoyed a stunning debut season with 33 goals and nine assists in 44 games.
Despite public insistence from Dortmund managing director Lars Ricken that Guirassy isn’t planning to leave, PSG are also circling, with Luis Enrique said to be a keen admirer.
Alongside United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also understood to be included in the unusual clause.

There’s no indication yet whether United are prepared to meet the €70m fee.
However, the clause could provide a rare opportunity to land a proven goalscorer without entering a drawn-out bidding war.
Ruben Amorim will be aware of the need to resolve the goalscoring issues this season.
Rasmus Hojlund has struggled to light up the Premier League, netting just four goals.
Fans will be hoping to see a new forward enter the club, otherwise criticism will continue to be thrown at the hierarchy.
