In two weeks at 17:00 UK time on Thursday 8 August^th the transfer window of the Premier League will close for the summer.

After that, clubs will no longer have any opportunity to add to their teams for the rest of the year until the reopening of the window on January 1st.^st 2020.

This will be two crucial weeks for Manchester United, who could simply make them win or break next season.

For the moment, United does not seem to have a starting lineup or a team capable of organizing a major revival.

But all this could change with the addition of two or even three new players before the end of the window. & Nbsp;

A challenge for the title is not expected at Old Trafford next season although it is still the least expected of Sir Alex Ferguson's teams for more than two decades.

Instead, the goal of United's manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, in his first full season, is to show signs of a real improvement and bring the club back to the Champions League with a place in the top four.

But he still does not know if he has the quality to make the relatively short course between sixth and fourth place of last season.

So far this summer, United has signed only two new players, Aaron Wan-Bissaka of Crystal Palace and Daniel James of Swansea City.

Both are good young talents, but they will need time to settle in Old Trafford and can not be counted on to have an immediate impact next season.

It could be argued that the current United team is actually weaker than the one that started last season. For six months, she has witnessed the release of three experienced players: Marouane Fellaini, Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrea.

United certainly boasts of a cooler and younger team next season, but that does not necessarily mean better.

This should alarm United fans that Solskjaer has begun to handle expectations as to whether he will be able to make new signings.

"I am very happy with the two we signed," Solskjaer said in Shanghai on Wednesday during United's pre-season tour.

"We have to be patient, it's very long and it's very important that we find the right ones. We can not just take a different path if we encounter an obstacle. My feeling is that I did not have a feeling of frustration at all … I believe in these players and we could do well. "

"It's both short-term and long-term, when we are working on something we have identified, something that could improve us."

What United has identified is the urgent need for a new central defender to strengthen a defense that conceded 54 goals in the Premier League last season.

The first choice for this position is the English defender Harry Maguire, but after an opening bid of £ 70 million rejected two weeks ago, United has not been able to reach an agreement with Leicester City.

Time is running out, but it's inconceivable. United will start the new season without addressing this obvious weakness.

United's midfield midfield is another area that requires surgery, but despite being badociated with a parade of candidates including Bruno Fernandes, Sean Longstaff and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, no new purchases have been made. still occurred.

We're talking more and more success, in the hope that Scott McTominay continues to improve, Fred is better settled in his second season and Andreas Pereira finally realizes his potential after being rewarded with a new contract.

But it is quite clear that United needs more proven qualities to play alongside Nemanja Matic, who showed obvious signs of slowing down last season, and Paul Pogba, who said he would be interested in leaving United this summer.

And although United needs a greater threat of goals for next season, it seems that any effort to bring in new players here depends on their ability to sell Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan.

If the Belgian remains, United will have the same team of scorers as last season.

Solskjaer recently spoke of a "good team", but goodwill will never result in fifth or sixth place.

United must aspire to have a great team and there are only two weeks left for that to happen.
