Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is 'hopeful' of more signings at Manchester United before the transfer window closes.
United announced they have agreed the £43million signing of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid on Tuesday night, having already closed a £72.9m deal for Jadon Sancho.
A number of United youngsters who have been involved in their pre-season schedule are set to embark on loans with more senior players arriving back at the club.
United sources acknowledge the club must place an emphasis on outgoings if they are to finance moves for any more incomings ahead of the window's closing date on August 31.
"There are loan deals already arranged for some of the boys and I would expect more to be agreed in the coming days and weeks," Solskjaer said in his programme notes. "And those are important because we have some really talented lads who need to get out there and play competitive senior football.
"A number will, of course, remain part of our group here, but this is already a highly competitive squad which is even stronger than last season.
"I'm absolutely thrilled that we have managed to conclude a deal for Jadon Sancho, who we regard as one of the most exciting young attackers in the game, while it's also great to have Tom Heaton back home in our goalkeeping department once more.
"I'm hopeful that there might be a little more business done by us before the summer window closes, while I'm also mindful that a lot of our squad members underwent great development on loan last term, so there's no question that we go into this season in better shape than last season."
