Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expects more additions before next week's Premier League transfer deadline.
United have agreed a fee with Leicester for England centre-back Harry Maguire.
Solskjaer told PA: "We're still hope one or two deals can be done. We've been working on cases for a long time and suddenly the deal can be done when it's dragging on.
"As a club we've had targets, but as a coach and manager when you go out on the pitch you have to work with the ones you have.
"You can't think 'what if he comes' or 'if he's sold'.
"The reality is you have to work with the ones that are there. I've never been thinking 'I'll play him there but he's coming in'.
"Everyone who has been in pre-season has a big part to play and most of them have impressed.
"But it (transfer speculation) doesn't stop (after the deadline) because you still have to plan for the next transfer window and next summer."
