Dundee United are still waiting for Major League Soccer to sanction the loan signing of 21-year-old left-back Philippe Ndinga from Philadelphia Union. The club, who finished 9th in the Premiership last season with 33 points, are also facing a battle to retain young forward Lorenzo Sassetti, who became their youngest ever player at 15 this week.
What's the latest on Ndinga's loan?
Dundee United are still awaiting approval from MLS for the loan signing of Philippe Ndinga. The 21-year-old left-back is set to join from Philadelphia Union, but the deal remains pending. Manager Jim Goodwin is eager to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season, with United looking to improve on last season's 9th-place finish.
Goodwin's fight to keep Sassetti
Jim Goodwin has vowed to "fight tooth and nail" to keep Lorenzo Sassetti at the club. The 15-year-old forward, who made his debut this week, is attracting interest from Serie A and the English top flight. Goodwin believes Sassetti has a bright future at Tannadice and is determined to keep him despite the interest.
Iovu's future at Dundee United
Centre-half Iurie Iovu is attracting strong interest from across Europe, including Portugal. The 24-year-old, who is entering the final year of his contract, says he is happy at Tannadice. Goodwin is pleased with his squad, which has seen nine new faces this summer, and is seeing positive progress in training.
Goodwin's satisfaction with the squad
Jim Goodwin is "very, very pleased" with his squad after another rebuild this summer. United have added nine new players and are looking to build on their recent form, which saw them finish 9th in the Premiership last season. Goodwin is confident that his team is making progress and is excited for the new season.
