Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is still waiting for the club's first signing of the transfer window, seemingly made a public plea to the powers above after the team's UEFA Europa League exit.
The Red Devils saw their hopes of silverware fade away on Sunday night as Sevilla came back from a goal down to beat United 2-1 in their semi-final clash.
Solskjaer fielded a strong side and saw his team put on an impressive performance, only to be outdone by some magnificent goalkeeping and defensive lapses of their own.
The United manager waited until the 87th minute to make his first changes in the game, and judging by his words after the match, it may have been a gesture to management regarding his squad.
"We need to strengthen the squad depth because it's going to be a long season. We're going to keep pushing and keep demanding more of the players that we have, but still, we're looking to improve and it's a strange one," he was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"The league starts very quickly, but then the (transfer) market is open for so long. So we've got to be both good, smart and clever.
"It's only going to be a couple of weeks rest until we get going again. We have to dust ourselves down, make sure that we are ready and fresh to go."
