“We have important players injured for a long time, they are going to be back just by the end of the year, so our squad is not so big and we need options, we need different players.
“I told a few months ago, I was hoping for four players to improve the squad and the club did a fantastic job, absolutely fantastic, by getting three of them, which is difficult in the crazy market where we are now.
“To get three out of four, I thank the club for that. I would be happier if they gave me four of four but they did a great effort for me.”
The former Real Madrid manager was also excited about his attacking options for the upcoming season, as he exclaimed: “Lukaku, Martial and Rashford are all different players and we need everybody and it’s going to be good, it’s going to be fun to choose the team for every match, according to the plan, to the opponent, to our gameplan.”
Manchester United are still being linked with players like Ivan Perisic, Serge Aurier, Eric Dier, and Andre Gomes, and it shall be fascinating to see which player joins the Old Trafford outfit as their fourth and final signing.
