A squad overhaul was expected at United after the disappointing end to last season, in which Solskjaer’s men failed to win any of their last five league games, losing three.

But the Red Devils have made just two new signings so far, bringing in Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace and Daniel James from Swansea City.

United are reportedly still interested in Leicester City’s Harry Maguire and Sporting Lisbon’s Bruno Fernandes, and Solskjaer claims the club could make two more signings before the season begins.

“I can’t say much other than that we have a good squad now,” Solskjaer said. “The ones we have here are a good team.

“Then we always see alternatively whether we can get better. A lot has been written and we have certainly been linked to 150 players this summer.

“But one or two moves can happen, both in and out, it can still happen.”

Paul Pogba’s future remains uncertain, although talk of a move to either Real Madrid or Juventus has gone relatively quiet in recent days.

United face Kristiansund BK in their next pre-season friendly and having recorded a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in China.
