Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada has set out the vision for the new management team at Old Trafford following the release of the club's full-year financial results.
The club's latest accounts have shown a net loss of £113.2m in the year to June 30, and they have now taken total losses of over £370m in the last five years.
"It has been a busy off season for the club with successful training camps for both our men's and women's teams," Berrada said in a statement.
""We have strengthened our men's first team with five exciting players and put a new football leadership structure in place to provide a greater support to our manager, Erik ten Hag.
"Dan Ashworth was appointed sporting director and Jason Wilcox joined us as technical director, two extremely experienced and highly regarded professionals, who will add great depth to our team.

Man United chief says club want "to return to the top of European football"
"Ultimately, the strength of Manchester United is driven by the passion and loyalty of our supporters. Our clear objective is to return the club to the top of European football.
"Everyone at the club is aligned on a clear strategy to deliver sustained success, both on and off the pitch, for the ultimate benefit of our fans, shareholders and hugely diverse range of stakeholders."
According to BBC Sport, Man United will not breach the Premier League's rules surrounding Profit and Sustainability despite the recent loss.
The Red Devils finished eighth in the Premier League last season, but they managed to qualify for the 2024-25 Europa League courtesy of their win against Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
The 20-time English champions have lost two of their three Premier League matches at the start of the new season, including a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford before the international break.
The club spent in excess of £180m over the summer transfer window to sign Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and Manuel Ugarte.
