Manchester United's football director John Murtough has poured water on the idea of mass arrivals at Old Trafford in January despite Erik ten Hag's willingness to bring in more signings.
The Red Devils, who hired the Dutchman in the summer from Ajax, spent £220m in the recent transfer window on new arrivals as they set about reinvigorating the squad at Carrington. Antony, Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez all arrived for big money as Ten Hag put his stamp on the playing group.
United's sixth place finish last season underlined the need to improve the squad and Ten Hag has his sights set on more reinforcements in the New Year, but without Champions League football and other revenue streams the club chief has confirmed that they spent more than planned.
