Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has responded to calls from former Manchester United players to further strengthen his squad. Surprisingly, the Red Devils have only made one new addition to their team this summer.
That one arrival has come in the form of Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek, who moved to Old Trafford last month from Ajax for a £ 40 million fee.
Although the van de Beek acquisition was a considerable blow, it did little to address the obvious areas of the squad that United needed to strengthen.
That sentiment has been expressed by a plethora of former Red Devils players, with Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand being the most prominent.
Those calls haven’t gone unnoticed by Solskjaer, who admits that he has no problem with none of his former teammates stepping in with his two pennies.

“We have players to get results, Pat [Evra], Rio, Gary, Fletch [Darren Fletcher] I’ve always been welcome here to talk to me, ”said the Norwegian.
“They’re doing their job, they’re allowed to do their job. We all want Man United to be as high as possible, it’s my job and that’s what I’m working with.”
“When we are planning, there are players here that we believe in, the transfer window is still open for a while and the club has been working and knows my point of view.
“We are here to strengthen ourselves in the long term as well.

“The main thing now, obviously, is to get results on the court, we need to get results and how we get results on the court there are many, many ways to improve the team.
“We are working here within the four walls and in the field to improve.
“I keep reading about players who should be playing instead of those who are playing because that tells me I have a strong team.”
Solskjaer is eager to strengthen his squad before the window closes and recently revealed that the club is working hard to try and bring in more reinforcements.
Speaking after United’s Carabao Cup fourth round win over Brighton on Wednesday, Solskjaer said: “I can’t give you any news.
“We are working with what we have. We have a great squad. We changed 10 players from Saturday.
“If there is an update, we will let you know. I do not comment on the players of other teams. I cannot worry about other clubs.
“I know that the club is working well and hard to have a team as strong as possible. Sometimes there is speculation and we cannot control that.”
