<h3 style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed he wants to sign two new players in order to improve their squad.</em></strong> . </h3> <h3 style="text-align: justify"></h3> <p style="text-align: justify">When asked if he was expecting further arrivals, Van Gaal told MUTV: "I hope so. No, we are not finished yet, I think."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"It is what I have said already in many press conferences. We need a balance in the selection and I think we still need to improve at least two positions and we shall do that when it is possible."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"But we shall only buy when the player can give a contribution to our level. And, of course, that is in the eyes of our staff, but I have to have confidence that he can cope with the rhythm of the Premier League."</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify">Who could these two players be?</h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Manchester United have made four signings this summer, already, strengthening their defense with <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/i-like-darmian-gary-neville-and-manchester-united-fans-delighted-with-new-signing/">Matteo Darmian </a>from Torino, adding steel and creativity in midfield by bringing in<a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/manchester-united-fans-delighted-with-morgan-schneiderlin-transfer-tweets/"> Morgan Schneiderlin</a> from Southampton and <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/official-manchester-united-agree-15m-schweinsteiger-fee-fans-ecstatic/">Bastian Schweinsteiger</a> from Bayern Munich. The club have also bolstered their attack by snapping up Dutch winger <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/memphis-depay-reveals-why-he-rejected-liverpool-fc-bayern-munich-to-sign-for-manchester-united/">Memphis Depay</a> from PSV Eindhoven.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The club's chase of a central defender is well documented with credible reports in the media linking them with moves for <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/manchester-united-target-otamendi-pushing-for-36-4m-transfer/">Nicolas Otamendi</a> of Valencia, <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/manchester-united-launch-new-42-5m-bid-for-real-madrids-sergio-ramos/">Sergio Ramos</a> of Real Madrid, and <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/manchester-united-hummels-remains-priority-despite-otamendi-interest/">Mats Hummels</a> was also on Manchester United's radar before he decided to commit his future to Borussia Dortmund.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">With Rafael Benitez recently coming out and saying that <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/manchester-united-target-sergio-ramos-to-stay-at-real-madrid-rafa-benitez/">Sergio Ramos is going to stay at Real Madrid</a>, the club have little alternative but to go for Otamendi if they have to sign a good defender, unless, of course, they <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/chelsea-fc-have-20-million-stones-bid-rejected-by-everton-sky-sports/">join Chelsea FC in the battle for John Stones</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Mehdi Benatia is another man they could look at given the <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/benatia-i-am-honoured-by-interest-from-juventus-and-real-madrid/">player's apparent unhappiness at Bayern Munich which he has been very vocal about</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Well, what is for sure is the club do need a defender, given that they conceded 37 goals in the league, only fourth best with the title going to Chelsea FC, who conceded the least goal in the league.</p>
