Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has hinted at further arrivals at Old Trafford before the summer window closes on September 1.

United suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Swansea City last week and there were calls for the club to accelerate their recruitment drive.

Marcos Rojo joined recruits Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera during the week, taking the club's summer spending over the £70million mark, and Van Gaal has suggested there are plans to continue adding players.

“You have to buy what can improve your team,” the Dutchman told The Telegraph.

“That’s why I bought Rojo, because he can play here and here [in two positions]. So for us he is very good."

Asked if that was the end of his transfer business, Van Gaal responded: “No, no, we shall buy maybe more players. You never know.”
