However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping for a few more changes to his squad before the end of the month.
Manchester United have already bolstered their attack and backline so far and could turn their attention to other areas of the park right now. The Red Devils will also look to hold on to their star players beyond the summer.
On that note, let’s take a look at the major Manchester United transfer stories from 12th August 2021.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer planning for one more addition this summer
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted that Manchester United could make at least one more signing this summer. The Red Devils are expected to launch an offensive on the Premier League in the upcoming season after displaying steady progress under their Norwegian manager.
Solskjaer guided the club to a third-place finish in his first full season at Old Trafford, before going a step further to second in the recently concluded campaign.
Manchester United are expected to reduce the gap between their rivals further this season and fight for the league title. Solskjaer is desperate for silverware, having seen the Europa League slip from between his fingers last season.
The Red Devils have invested as per the Norwegian’s requirements this summer, but it appears that their business is not over yet.
Speaking to Sky Sports, as relayed by The Express, Solskjaer revealed that he was waiting for another addition to his squad.
Manchester United not looking to offload Anthony Martial
Manchester United have no intentions of offloading Anthony Martial this summer, according to The Hard Tackle via The Telegraph. The Frenchman has struggled for fitness and form since last season, but the Red Devils believe he will be crucial to their upcoming season.
With Marcus Rashford out for a couple of months and Edinson Cavani yet to join up with his team-mates, Manchester United might have to rely on Martial to lead the line in the next few weeks. Even after both stars return to the team, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will need all his options as the Red Devils prepare to fight in multiple fonts in the 2021/22 season.
Frank Lampard backs Manchester United to win the league
