(Football news) Both Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee joined Manchester United this summer; the former came from Bologna, while the latter moved from Lille.

Because he was part of the Netherlands squad at Euro 2024, Zirkzee has not yet made his debut for Manchester United. He will not be able to train with his new teammates until the beginning of August.

Yoro did, however, make his starting debut against the Rangers less than two days after coming. The center defender is traveling with the team to the United States and will play in the forthcoming games against Arsenal, Real Betis, and Liverpool.

Ten Hag wants more incomings at Manchester United

Ten Hag has welcomed the two new arrivals but has said that he wants “the squad as strong as possible”, insisting that the club “need to catch up” in terms of squad depth.

“I want the squad as strong as possible. We already made two very good buys so when everyone is fit we have a team that can beat everyone. But with squad depth we need to catch up because we had injuries. This season will be survival of the fittest,” Ten Hag told reporters.

“We proved we can beat the best team. Not just once, we did it twice. But also the other games were also very close. Our challenge is to do it consistently, that’s what we have to work for.”

Man United opened their preparations for the new campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Rosenborg, but they bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Rangers last weekend.

The Red Devils will now tackle Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool before heading back to England to prepare for the Community Shield against Manchester City on August 10.

Who else could Manchester United sign this summer?

Manchester United are said to be pushing to sign Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich, with the Morocco international seen as a potential replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

West Ham United are allegedly no longer in the race for Mazraoui, with Manchester United potentially securing a deal in the near future.

The 20-time English champions also want to bring in a central midfielder, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte viewed as their leading target, but Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and Sporting Lisbon’s Morten Hjulmand are also admired.

The Red Devils are also looking to acquire another centre-back, with Matthijs de Ligt the leading target, but any deal for the Bayern defender depends on outgoings, with Victor Lindelof potentially departing to make space for the Netherlands international.
