Manchester United all change as latest team picture shows full extent of Louis van Gaal's extensive squad overhaul

* Manchester United made six summer signings at a cost of more than £100m including Anthony Martial for £36m
* Louis van Gaal has ruthlessly changed his squad, with 11 players gone from last season's squad photo

The incredible Louis van Gaalifcation of Manchester United is laid bare as the club unveil their squad picture for 2015-16.

No fewer than six new players, brought to Old Trafford by the Dutchman for a combined cost of more than £100m, proudly take their place in front of the East Stand.

And as Van Gaal continues his incredible overhaul at the Premier League leaders a staggering 11 men from last season's picture are no longer present.

Back Row L-R: Jonny Evans, Marouane Fellaini, Chris Smalling, Tyler Blackett, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones. Third Row L-R: Antonio Valencia, Anderson, Daley Blind, Robin van Persie, Michael Carrick, James Wilson, Andreas Pereira, Ashley Young. Second Row: strength and conditioning coach Gary Walker, opposition coach Marcel Bout, Dr Steve McNally, Luke Shaw, Ben Amos, David de Gea, Anders Lindegaard, Angel di Maria, goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek, kit manager Alec Wylie, physio Neil Hough. Front Row: Rafael da Silva, Ander Herrera, Radamel Falcao, assistant coach Albert Stuivenberg, Wayne Rooney, manager Louis van Gaal, Darren Fletcher, assistant manager Ryan Giggs, Juan Mata, Adnan Januzaj, Jesse Lingard

The famously meticulous manager's determination to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of glory is also evidenced by the large number of coaches in the picture.

A total of eight backroom staff, dressed in the club's blue training kit, feature - so many that there is only room for two outfield players in the middle row.

The snap also gives us a hint of Van Gaal's fiery side.

There is no place in the ranks of the goalkeepers for outcast Victor Valdes, who has been left out of the squad since falling out with the manager in the summer.

And the club's commercial drive is also clear to see. Following their £750m world-record kit deal with adidas, the players pose in their new shirts in front of the German company's logo which is etched onto the famous stadium's seats.

The new faces brought in are Anthony Martial, Morgan Schneiderlin, Sergio Romero, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Matteo Darmian and Memphis Depay.

Gone are Jonny Evans, Tyler Blackett (loan), Anderson, Robin van Persie, Ben Amos, Anders Lindegaard, Angel di Maria, Rafael, Radamel Falcao, Darren Fletcher and Adnan Januzaj (loan).
