Luke Shaw hopes Manchester United will make more signings before the end of the transfer window to help the team better compete with Manchester City next season.
Shaw, now United’s longest serving player following the departure of David de Gea, has been joined by England team-mate Mason Mount this summer following his move from Chelsea, as well as a new goalkeeper to replace de Gea in Andre Onana.
United are also set to secure the signing of Atalanta striker Rasmus Højlund for a fee of £72m, an area where Shaw believes the team needs to be strengthened.
“I think obviously he’s not our player yet, so I won’t say too much,” Shaw said.
“Of course, we’ve got (Anthony) Martial, (Marcus) Rashford at the moment and (Jadon) Sancho, who can play there.
“But an out-and-out striker is what we need and we’re desperate for one and I’m very sure that the club know that, the manager knows that and us players would love one to come, too.”
“We’ve already signed some very good players and hopefully there’s more additions to come to strengthen the squad.”
Shaw has been at United since 2014, winning four trophies during that time, but says his career at the club so far has not represented enough success.
“Of course it’s not enough,” he said.
“I know that. The whole club knows that, I think. To be successful we need to be challenging for every trophy and winning competitions.
“We felt like we could have added another two competitions last season and I think we should have.”
