Some Manchester United fans aren’t believing a word of a report from the Manchester Evening News about the club’s transfer plans.

According to the publication, the club is targeting four new signings next year: a full-back, a central midfielder, a forward and a striker.

The summer transfer window saw just three arrivals at the club, with two of them in defence. They also fell two priority signings short in the summer, after the sale of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku to Internazionale.

Harry Maguire was signed for a world-record fee believed to be £80m, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka was signed for £50m. Daniel James also joined the club for £15m from Championship side Swansea City.

The lack of squad depth this season was criticised by former United star Gary Neville, who said the club need to add ‘three of four players down the spine’ (Sky Sports via Daily Mail).

However, despite the reports, fans weren’t believing that the club are planning four signings next year as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Old Trafford faithful:
