Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is concerned over his squad's ability to compete in the coming season if they do not bring in more new faces.
The Red Devils have already secured two huge transfers swoops this month after securing a deal to bring in long term target Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.
However, the pace of new arrivals has not slowed at Old Trafford, with Ten Hag also pulling off a superb move to edge out Real Madrid in the race for highly rated French defender Leny Yoro.
Moves for Zirkzee and Yoro will improve United in the upcoming campaign, with high-earning stars including Raphael Varane, Donny van de Beek and Mason Greenwood all moving on, as part of the Dutchman's rebuild.

Ten Hag looked almost certain to be removed by the United hierarchy at the end of last season, but a shock FA Cup final win over rivals Manchester City has offered him a second chance, and he insists there is still work to be done.
"We are not the only team that struggled with injuries last season, other clubs had the same. But, at one point we had almost no defenders available", he told an interview with Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad.
"We were and still are in that process [of rebuilding]. If you compare our squad with other top clubs in the Premier League, we are certainly a bit less in terms of depth. That is exactly why we found it so difficult to deal with those injuries."
Ten Hag's side lost 1-0 to Rosenborg in their opening preseason friendly, and they take on Rangers in Glasgow on July 20, before heading off on a summer tour of the USA.
