Manchester United are reportedly plotting a swift shake-up of their squad after a lacklustre term under the guidance of Ruben Amorim and Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils are eyeing some fresh faces in the upcoming summer transfer window as they look to put their torrid campaign behind them.
The club is set to jump into action from Sunday when the market opens, with plans to seal deals pronto to prime the newcomers for the following season.
We could witness four transfers getting wrapped up this week as the Red Devils aim for a significant squad revamp.
And Daily Star Sport has a look at each potential transfer.

It looks like Marcus Rashford might be waving goodbye to Old Trafford following a well-publicised tiff with Amorim earlier in the year. His loan spell at Aston Villa, marred by injury, seems to have set the stage for his exit with the Mancunians holding out for around £40million.
After the final whistle at Villa's last-season game, which ended in dramatic fashion against United, Rashford shared: "Just a message of thanks to everyone here at Villa for what has (injury aside) been an incredible few months for me.
"It is a really special club and I appreciated the way Villa fans embraced me with open arms from 1st minute on the pitch," reports the Express.
"Manager, team, and coaching staff have all been brilliant. I know it is a huge disappointment not to have made the Champions League place which everyone worked so hard all season for but I know this club and team will come back stronger."
Matheus Cunha

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that a deal to snap up Wolves' star player Matheus Cunha is all sewn up, with the Brazilian set to don the United shirt.
The Red Devils are poised to activate Cunha's £62.5m buyout clause at the earliest opportunity, marking him as their first summer signing.
He could be on board as soon as the transfer window swings open on Sunday, June 1.
Jadon Sancho

Chelsea are bound by the loan terms to purchase Jadon Sancho outright from United, following the ex-England winger's season-long stint at Stamford Bridge.
If they take up this option, the 25-year-old could finally put his United nightmare to bed.
However, Enzo Maresca's Blues have the option to cough up a £5m penalty to scrap that obligation and ship him back to Manchester. The Independent reports that this decision will be hashed out after a post-season chat.
But if Chelsea fancy keeping Sancho on their books for the upcoming season, the deal could be sealed as early as this week.
Alejandro Garnacho

United boss Amorim has already given Alejandro Garnacho his marching orders, with Napoli and Chelsea reportedly leading the chase.
After voicing his displeasure over the gaffer's team selection for the Europa League final, Garnacho is set for a swift exit.
