So far, the Red Devils have brought in three new names to the first-team this summer. First up, the Manchester outfit signed Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord on a four-year deal.

United are understood to have paid an initial Β£13m for the left-back, with a further Β£1.7m payable in add-ons.

Manchester United also secured the services of Christian Eriksen on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with Brentford.

Then, last week, Manchester United’s signing of Lisandro Martinez was made official. The move sees Manchester United pay an initial Β£49m for the Argentine, but also includes Β£8.5m in add-ons and Β£2.2m in solidarity payments to Martinez’s former clubs.

Despite those three signings, though, it is clear Man United are still nowhere near the level of a Manchester City or Liverpool.

One man who seemingly agrees with this is Erik ten Hag.

β€œWe signed Eriksen for the midfield department, so we are really happy with that,” Ten Hag said. β€œAnd yes, I am really happy also with our performances of our midfield department and offensive department at this moment.

β€œBut I also know about this season – we talk about it in Bangkok and Melbourne – it’s a lot of games, the World Cup, so we need more options where you have a good team, and it’s not only about the team, you need a good squad to get the right results at the end of the season.

β€œSo we have to strengthen the squad even more and we are looking around but we also need the right players.

β€œThere is a reason in a number of games you need more options in offence, clear. I think it’s vital if you want to get success, the season is really long but we still also have time to fill that in.

β€œBack in Manchester Eriksen, Martinez will join in, we have more options, I think they can quite quickly integrate into the team.”
