Erik ten Hag says Man Utd waiting for 'right moment' to make new signings as Red Devils continue hunt for midfielder

The Red Devils have already completed two transfers in the ongoing summer transfer window as they roped in young defender Leny Yoro from Lille and Dutch attacker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. However, manager Ten Hag suggested that the club could make more signings in the remainder of the window.

Two United midfielders Scott McTominay and Casemiro have been linked with moves away from Old Trafford this summer, with the Scotland international poised to join Fulham. The Premier League are expected to make a couple of more signings, especially in the midfield area, having been linked with Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte and Sander Berge of Burnley.

Speaking to reporters, the 54-year-old said: "When we have news, we will announce it. You see the market is quite quiet still but we have done our business, we have done two deals. It is about timings and it is about the market options and [ensuring] in the right moment we do the right things."

He added: "I don't go into details about where we are now with recruitment and what we are working on. We know what we are doing and I think we are in a good position with the squad. For you, just wait, be patient and at the right moment, we will tell you."

Amid an injury crisis in the squad, Ten Hag and his men are preparing to take the field for their first competitive match of the 2024-25 season on Saturday as they face rivals Manchester City in the Community Shield.
