Glenn Roeder knows that he is in for a busy summer and his buying policy will be under intense scrutiny from the United supporters.
He also has to decide what to do with the two players who are due to come back from loan deals - James Milner from Aston Villa and Nicky Butt from Birmingham City.
He will also have to talk to Steve Harper to see what United's Reserve keeper wants to do about his future now that Shay Given has signed his new five-year contract.
Then of course he will have to out the futures of his unsettled foreigners Jean-Alean Boumsong, Emre and Albert Luque.
