Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is not committing to signing any particular style of player.
Ratcliffe does want to undertake an overhaul of United's squad and their recruitment practices.
However, the specifics of whether the club will go for young, hungrier players or push for superstars is not yet clear.
Ratcliffe told the Manchester Evening News: They have to be the players that fit the... we need to decide. I think we're probably still debating what precisely is the style of football we want to play.
If you look at Manchester City, they know precisely what the style of football is they want to play and all 11 clubs play the same formula.
We need to do that But I think in terms of the nature of the players, you want Manchester United types of players... Manchester United's style of play is attacking football, exciting football, bringing the youth through. You want players that are committed.
You want players that play 90 minutes or now 97 minutes or 100 or whatever the number is. Those are the types of players you want playing for Manchester United. We like youth. The academy is really really important for us. It's probably the most successful academy in football in terms of number of players that have come through."
