Jose Mourinho has further fuelled speculations he will do business this transfer window even as Alexis Sanchez appears closer to a move to the Red Devils.
United are yet to make any signings this January transfer window, but have been strongly linked with Sanchez, whose contract at Arsenal runs out at the end of the season and Mourinho has now suggested they will make a move for the Chilean.
“Our squad was not (built) to have new players in January,' he said.
“We build a squad with this idea, with this philosophy that I share with Mr (Ed) Woodward and the owners. Normally the investment is to be made in the summer. The balance of the squad is made in the summer.
“But sometimes, it (a transfer) can happen. Okay, if on the table is a fantastic opportunity, you fight for that fantastic opportunity. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. But I like my squad and I like my players.
“I think normally next summer we will try again to improve our squad in the different departments and try to make every department stronger. That's the normal situation with us.
“If in the winter market you do something, you have to do something that stops you to do it again in the summer. So you are not going to buy a goalkeeper now and buy another goalkeeper in the summer. So if you decide to improve the goalkeeper group now, you are not going to improve it again in the summer.
“Let's say in the summer we have three targets - a defender, a midfielder and an attacking player - if in the winter you do one of the three, then in the summer you are going to do three minus one.”
