After a promising first full campaign as Old Trafford manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have hoped for a pain-free summer on the transfer front. However, with just over two weeks left, United so far just have Donny van de Beek to show for their efforts. The lack of new arrivals has prompted Luke Shaw to send a strong message to Ed Woodward.

Telles quiet on United links

Telles served notice of what he could bring to United with a double in Porto’s 3-1 win over Braga this weekend.

The former Inter Milan loanee, however, is adamant that a move to United isn’t in his thinking right now.

“I’m a guy who focuses a lot on work,” he told Sport TV. “People believe what they want, say what they want in the newspapers, but the most important thing is to be focused on my work.

“You know that and so do my teammates, whatever happens, I’m focused on the club, I’m here, I’m playing.”

Solskjaer, however, refuses to speculate on potential new arrivals and when they might arrive.

“Of course I want players in the building that we want to work with and who want to be a part of it, and who want to be here,” Solskjaer said.

“You need the quality on the pitch. You also need the personal qualities but you also really want to be here. They need to show you that they want to be here.”
