Erik ten Hag will be hoping to build on a promising first season in charge of Manchester United as he looks ahead to a second campaign at the helm.
The Red Devils qualified for the Champions League after they finished third in the Premier League and they also won their first trophy since 2017, lifting the EFL Cup.
Ten Hag will certainly want to bolster his side again as they look to finish higher in the league and go deep in the Champions League with a deal for England international Mason Mount now completed.
The Sporting News looks at the Man United players contracted for the 2023/24 season.

Ten Hag's first problem will be to solve the issue in the goalkeeping department. The only keeper currently contracted beyond the upcoming season is Dean Henderson. David de Gea is now a free agent, his contract having expired on June 30, while Jack Butland has joined Rangers. Tom Heaton and Nathan Bishop have had one-year extensions triggered in their deals.
In defence, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe have been released, while Eric Bailly and Alex Telles are returning from loan spells but are expected to be sold. Ethan Laird has signed for Birmingham City.
However, there is some positivity, as United have wrapped up a deal to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea but still look light in midfield. Fred is a target for Fulham, while Zidane Iqbal has been sold to Utrecht. Marcel Sabitzer has returned to Bayern Munich after spending the second half of the season on loan at Old Trafford.
United are also in the market for a striker. Wout Weghorst has returned to Burnley following his loan spell while Anthony Martial is linked with a move away from the club this summer.
Mason Greenwood was named on the club's retained list for next season, but he remains suspended amid an internal investigation into off-field allegations. Greenwood was facing criminal charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, but those charges were dropped in February.

How Man United were built
When Ten Hag joined the Red Devils from Ajax, he brought a few players over from the Eredivisie. Lisandro Martinez and Antony joined from Ajax while Tyrell Malacia transferred from Feyenoord.
Other than players who graduated from the Man United academy, Luke Shaw is the longest-serving player at the club. The defender joined in 2014 from Southampton.
