Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox has promised investment in the "right" signings in order to realise the club's long-term vision.

United have hit a groove of positivity, having won three league games on the bounce for the first time since boss Ruben Amorim's appointment last November.

Summer signings Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Senne Lammens have played their role in United's upturn in form, with fans impressed with not only their performances but their evident attitude.

Sky Sports News understands United will make signing a new midfielder a key target for next summer. The club are not expected to be busy in January, having made a significant investment in the team in the previous window, however the club are continuing work on the market, looking ahead to next summer.

United's recent transfer success is a trend that Wilcox suggests will continue at Old Trafford as the club aim to re-establish themselves at the top of the Premier League, as well as being capable of competing in Europe.

"We have got a clear plan," Wilcox told the Man Utd website.

"We know what we have got to do, we know the areas of the team that we have got to improve.
