Ole Gunnar Solskjaer displays no concern for Manchester United’s lack of transfer activity, suggesting that he’s content with his squad.

Despite them having been largely inactive in the summer transfer window so far, the transfer rumors for Manchester United doesn’t seem to stop.

Real Madrid’s Luka Jovic and FC Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele are the two new players that have been linked with a potential move to the red side of Manchester as of late.

United’s Interest in Jovic is understood to be a reaction to Anthony Martial’s poor form in front of goal. Dembele, meanwhile, is being viewed as an alternative to their long-term target Jadon Sancho.

In other news, they are in talks to bring in Alex Telles from Porto as a competitor to Luke Shaw at left-back.

The Red Devils need to speed up if they do not want their only acquisition of this summer to be Donny van de Beek as the transfer window for Premier League slams shut on October 5.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, however, hints there might not be any more new faces at Old Trafford.

“I can’t give you any news now. We’re working with the players we’ve got, we’ve got a big squad – we’ve changed 10 players there from Saturday,” Solskjaer replied when asked about any potential incomings, as per Express.

“If there’s any updates, we’ll give you them.”

Asked if Man Utd’s pursuit of Sancho is still on, he responded: “I don’t comment on any other team’s players.”
