To summarise, for United it is about building a BASE team which is cohesive yet individual dominant enough to find solutions and be effective within 1v1 situations - this base hasn't been built post SAF and has always required tactical security to be effective, whilst the league evolves. Ashworth seemed to have built a BASE team in 2024, which fell short in an experienced CF and LB.
Then adding the A1 elite players to this base which also means increasing the wages handed out, for repeated title challenges.
Overloads and +1's should be a secondary option and applied if needed, not the sole means to being effective.
The text below shows my views on the squad and it's limitations in 2024 and prior.

could just be one of the most important changes to be made at united in the past decade.

The capped static overload which has prevent United from progressing collectively and now returning back to a potential higher ceiling approach.
Placing tactical security to cover technical, physical, athletic and connectivity issues, means when this security is negated by the opponent, the hidden issues get exposed resulting in collapsed foundations and cohesion - current stage (again).
In short, this squad requires a +1 to help progress and protect play effectively (versus a range of opponents). The true transition, is ultimately removing the +1 and maximising recruitment to apply a higher ceiling approach aligned to the clubs true footballing idea.
It would require building another base team (one that can carry out the idea but not to the level of challenging for repeated titles yet), opposed to a lesser system in exchange for results whilst being against the clubs philosophy (1v1 dominance).
The +1 can then be added, if needed, once the individuals and smaller collective are effective and cohesive, but the static overload shouldn't be the sole solution and fail safe.
