A 50 million pound ($67 million) revamp of the club’s Carrington training base has been completed in time for the start of the new Premier League season as the storied club aims to bounce back from its worst campaign in the modern era.

“The big thing that I like the most is now there's going to be no excuses,” defender Diogo Dalot said.

United has gone 12 years since last winning the Premier League title in 2013 and last season recorded its lowest finish when placing 15th.

It also suffered a club record 18 losses in the Premier League and amassed its lowest points total, 42, as it failed to qualify for any European competition.
