In some ways United's glaring deficiencies kind of suggest Mourinho actually overachieved with this team, at least in the Premier League. At the same time a team with the attacking talent that United have shouldn't be looking like West Brom going forward. A CB who can play out is definitely necessary, but so is some actual creativity in midfield and full backs (and wingers) who can effectively get the ball in the box. And yet would it really be shocking if all they did this summer is pay £200 million for Neymar and be done with it? United have been about splash signings in recent years, not necessarily the signings they really need.
