Manchester United won’t be indulging in multi-import transfer windows in the near future after Louis van Gaal’s six-man summer 2015 revamp.

The Dutch manager’s business this window mirrored his activity when a spend of £155m brought another six newcomers 12 months ago when Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Daley Blind, Radamel Falcao and Marcos Rojo were the first part of the Old Trafford squad rebuild.

After this summer’s business a further £100m-plus was spent on Anthony Martial, Memphis Depay, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin, Matteo Darmian and Romero came in on a free.

Sales meant the Reds virtually broke even but 12 new players in just over a year is an enormous turnover but now Van Gaal is ready to take stock and settle his squad down.

It is understood that the Reds will now tone down the scale of their activity in future transfer windows.

After an early summer impressive round of purchases United’s window degenerated into the chaos surrounding the collapse of the David De Gea transfer to Real Madrid plus the shock £36m (plus add ons) arrival of the relatively unknown teenager Anthony Martial from Monaco.

But Van Gaal is now on holiday in Portugal during the international break and is understood to be happy with the new arrivals.

Van Gaal calls for patience with new signing Anthony Martial.

Martial is a 'massive gamble', according to Thierry Henry.

The Reds boss had identified Real’s Spanish international defender Sergio Ramos as the only centre back he felt was worth adding to the Old Trafford defensive roster.

Once Ramos nailed his colours back to the Bernabeu mast and signed a new contract United’s interest in new defenders shut. The club were never in for Nicolas Otamendi, who eventually moved to City from Valencia.

As well as the De Gea saga United were also involved in the mysterious alleged pursuit of Barcelona’s Pedro.

It is understood the Spanish forward was way down the list of possibles but the option was always open. However Van Gaal was never really keen on bringing Pedro to Old Trafford and Chelsea eventually moved for the 28-year-old.

Southampton’s striker Sadio Mane was another United actively pursued but despite denials from saints boss Ronaldo Koeman that the Reds had not submitted a bid it is understood the club did make an offer which was rejected out of hand.

Now the window has shut United will concentrate on welcoming De Gea back into the fold when he returns next week from international duty but are not planning to discuss the possibility of a new contract.
