Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning return to Manchester United on Friday concluded a transfer window that has swiftly forgotten about last season's failure on the pitch - and unrest off it.
Supporters rushed the Old Trafford pitch just four months ago in protest at the club's owners' role in the failed European Super League proposal and a perceived lack of investment in the club, forcing a Premier League match against Liverpool to be postponed.
As a result, the Glazer family has approved an almost £150 million transfer budget, with Ronaldo joining former Real Madrid teammates Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho.
This investment has increased the expectation on United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to win the Premier League for the first time since Alex Ferguson departed in 2013.
In his two-and-a-half years as United manager, Solskjaer has yet to win a trophy, with his mishandling in losing the Europa League final on penalties to Villarreal in the last game of the season still vivid in the mind.
