Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is happy with his squad as the transfer window closes.

The Red Devils claimed a 1-0 win over Leicester City on Thursday, their third consecutive victory.

And ten Hag is pleased with how his squad is poised heading into the season.

"We need a good squad and we needed numbers," ten Hag said.

"There are a lot of games to cover. Once we have Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro getting fitter it will get better still - we need not only a team we need a squad.

"We will see with Anthony after training whether he is ready for Sunday. When there is a good opportunity, we have to strike but I think the building is closed - for now."

On the performance against Leicester, ten Hag continued: "It is another step forward so I am happy with that.

"We showed good team spirit. We had 11 players the on pitch who fought for each other and scored a lovely team goal.

"Still, there is improvements to make but that is normal at this stage of the season.

"There were many spaces that we did not exploit that well. With better decisions we should have scored a second goal. We have to be more ruthless, but, as I said there is room for improvement."
