He knows what I want.“I know that he tries his best for me. I still have a few days to wait to see what is going to happen.”  When asked if he was indeed unhappy with the squad at his disposal the manager did not issue a denial, though he could not help having a dig at fierce rivals Liverpool's transfer activity. “The other clubs that compete with us, they are really strong, or they already have fantastic teams and squads like Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City... or they are investing massively, like, for example, Liverpool, who are buying everything and everybody. “So if we don't make our team better it will be a difficult season for us.”Manchester United's Premier League campaign kicks off against Leicester City on August 10 at Old Trafford.</blockquote>
