Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eager not to block the first team pathway of the club's best youngsters.
Though the United manager has promised spending at Old Trafford after another disappointing season, he insists there will be fewer than six new arrivals and cited the examples of Marcus Rashford, Diogo Dalot and 17-year-old starlet Mason Greenwood to explain.
"I don't think you can expect six players coming in - I know there won't be six players coming in," said the Norwegian. "We can't just take players in because we need a body.
"Mason Greenwood is a player for me - he is 17 and I want to give him the chance to become a top player at this club.
"It's the same with Marcus Rashford at 21 and Diogo Dalot at 20. These players are going to get a chance and that is going to affect players who are at the other end of their careers.
"It means you don't want too many changes with signings and you have to say to players at the other end of their careers: 'I don't think you're for me'."
