Manchester United star admits he was hoping for more world class players

The Red Devils have completed three signings this summer

Manchester United are looking to bolster their squad in the transfer window after an underwhelming campaign last season, not winning a single silverware. They finished second in the Premier League, 19 points behind Manchester City.

The Red Devils are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window and they have already completed three signings, teenage full-back Diogo Dalot has signed from Porto, while a £52.5 million fee has been agreed with Shakhtar Donetsk for Brazil international Fred and Lee Grant from Stoke City.

But since then it has been a very quiet transfer window for the Premier League giants. They have been linked to host number of players in the past few weeks but are yet to sign anyone with transfer deadline approaching.

Even Jose Mourinho conceded earlier today in press conference that there may be no more additions on the final day of the transfer window.

United star Alexis Sanchez, who joined the club from Arsenal in a swap deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving the other way in January, has admitted that he was hoping for more world class players in the transfer window.

He told ESPN Brasil: “I would have liked that they had signed many more world-class players.

“But it’s the club’s decision.”

While disappointed by a lack of movement, Sanchez is happy to have been joined by fellow South American Fred.

The Chile International added: “The truth is that [Fred] impressed me a lot in his first game.

It’s what the team lacked – someone who plays ‘jogo bonito’, as they say in Brazil. And Andreas Pereira too. I think they are two players who have quality and they could help me a lot.

He went on to say: “Today I am more comfortable. I am calm. My team-mates have to be focused. I also have to. I depend on them. If they are well, me too.

“It’s [improving] positively, it goes better. I think it will be seen now in the games when we play with Paul [Pogba], with Fred with [Romelu] Lukaku and with all the rest who are playing. We will understand better which is the best way [to get the most out of the team].”
