Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag remains confident of landing their transfer targets before the market shuts this month.

Talks with Juventus for Adrien Rabiot remain at an advanced stage, while United have also not walked away from a possible deal for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong as they approach the 100-day mark since they first made contact.

When asked if United would have a better squad on September 1, Ten Hag stressed: "We have to. I am convinced we will have.

Asked if he was on the "same page" as the board regarding recruitment, Ten Hag replied: "Yes.

"I'm happy, I think we're cooperating really well. I cannot tell about any individuals, I cannot talk about players under contract at other clubs."

United remain short of two priority targets in midfield and up front, having been priced out of a move for Antony, valued at €80m by Ajax.
