Manchester United fans have been pining to see new faces at Old Trafford - and their wishes will be granted soon in the summer.

Interim boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer provided the very update the United faithful want to hear regarding transfers.

The Norwegian tactician has said that the English outfit will be in the market for at least two new players when the transfer window flings open.

Speaking about the issue, he said,

“In January, it was none, as we weren't going to sign any players."

“Now the club is working on the players they want to bring in in the summer, and I've been a part of a couple of those."

“There is a lot of work that goes into this, and then I come in at the end of the process."

“As a manager, I say where I think we should progress, what positions I think we need new players in, and what positions I think we will have great academy players in.”
