Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now believes the squad depth at Manchester United is good enough having said it needed improving at the end of last season. United have only made one signing in the 10-week summer transfer window so far in Donny van de Beek and rancour is simmering among supporters frustrated by a lack of additions.

Solskjaer said in April United could 'exploit' the transfer market amid the coronavirus pandemic and on August 20 stressed: "We need to strengthen the squad depth because it's going to be a long season." However, Solskjaer now regrets his use of the word 'exploit' and the recent Carabao Cup victories over Luton Town and Brighton have caused him to reassess the quality of his squad.

"When we're planning, you've got players here we believe in," Solskjaer said. "Of course, the transfer window is still open for a little while and the club has been working and know my view and we're here to strengthen it in the long-term as well.

"I think my wording during lockdown - 'exploit' - was a bad word by me. I didn't mean that in that respect, I meant there might be clubs and players out there that have to move because of the situation and it might be a something interesting for us. At the moment we've not had the, what's the word? There's not been those situations. Of course, we've lost loads of money, as the other clubs have as well. And when I talk about the squad depth, we've got a big squad."

pretty much confirms no one else is coming. We're screwed ... not backing this team after the spring they've had is an absolute disgrace.
