Manchester United<\/a> chief executive Omar Berrada says the club are \u2018working around the clock\u2019 to strengthen the squad before the transfer window<\/a> closes.<\/p>\n

United have spent close to \u00a3140million this summer on Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They want to bring in a new striker as talks continue over RB Leipzig centre-forward Benjamin Sesko, with a central midfielder and goalkeeper the other possibilities.<\/p>\n

Speaking before United\u2019s final US tour game against Everton<\/a> in Atlanta, Berrada said: \u2018We have to do a lot of multi-tasking.\u00a0We have a team back home led by (director of football) Jason (Wilcox), the recruitment team, that is working around the clock to ensure that we continue to find opportunities to strengthen our squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘There are lots of late calls and early morning meetings to make sure that we stay on top of it.<\/p>\n

\u2018What we want to do is to win and to start winning titles as soon as possible. Of course, adding players helps. We have seen the arrival of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim is under pressure to improve this season following their dismal 2024-25 campaign<\/p>\n

The club have been heavily linked with a move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko this summer<\/p>\n

‘They have adapted really well. We are going to see Bryan play for the first time (in Atlanta), Matheus has already shown his quality and Diego has shown that he is adapting very quickly having just come from Paraguay, so all of the signs are positive and we are cautiously optimistic. We hope we are going to have a great season.\u2019<\/p>\n

Amorim revealed over the weekend that he has installed a six-player leadership team to keep discipline among the squad, and Berrada underlined the importance of maintaining high standards.<\/p>\n

\u2018The mood has been very good,\u2019 he added. \u2018The culture, the standards, the values, we are trying to ensure that we create a team spirit that allows the players to compete at the highest level. We have very high standards, Ruben is very clear about that and so is Jason Wilcox. It is something we want to see with the players, with the staff, with everyone.<\/p>\n

\u2018It is about raising standards and being very disciplined, and the way you approach the application of those standards. We have to make sure that everybody abides by them, that everybody believes in them and that nobody falls out of line. It is really important for us to create that sense of togetherness around a single idea.\u2019<\/p>\n
