Sir Alex Ferguson promised one more new face at Manchester United, as the Red Devils look to wrest the English Premier League title away from Manchester City.
In a press conference to officially unveil United's two new signings - Shinji Kagawa and Nick Powell - Ferguson admitted a news arrival was imminent.
"There will possibly be one more," Ferguson said.
"We have always done well in terms of getting players in at the end of the season. That is the right time.
"But always in a European Championship or World Cup year, there is a delay in the transfer industry.
"That is over now and we are still trying to get one more in."
Japanese playmaker Kagawa, who made a move from German champions Borussia Dortmund, said he considered playing for United as the "greatest challenge of my career."
"I'm happy to be here and every day I'll take the chance to improve myself and move further up," the 23-year-old said.
"I've always said I have to improve my playing qualities; now I've been here a bit I can really feel the difference. It's a top level club and environment, and when the other internationals join us it will be even better.
"It's definitely the greatest challenge of my career and I hope to learn and improve every day. Everything here shows me it's a really big club and it's a great honour to play here. I want to really contribute by achieving concrete results.
"I definitely feel the attention of the media globally now. I'm a member of a great club at Manchester United but I think I can handle the pressure and am pretty confident I can adapt to the style of the Premier League."
Ferguson has no doubts about Kagawa settling in quickly. "He's got an opportunity to get to know the players on tour and acclimatise to the way we are," Ferguson said.
"I'm sure he will improve his English -- or Scottish -- over next few months, whichever he finds easier. He won't understand my Scottish when I lose my temper anyway!"
The other summer recruit Nick Powell said being at United was a sea change from his time at Crewe Alexandria. "At Crewe, it was one camera and one person," he said. "At United, it's the whole world.
"At Carrington, even with the building work around it, it is a complete change from Crewe. I thought Crewe's facilities were respectable but, to see this, it's a completely different world for me.
"I've still got a lot to develop. I'm not near my best yet.
"I'm hoping to achieve what people expect me to achieve. I want to show I am a Manchester United player and show what I can do."
Ferguson said he expects Powell to play in the center of midfield. "I asked Dario (Gradi) if Nick could be a central midfielder.
"Dario thinks that's his position and Nick does too so we're all in accord. We hope he'll be a central midfield player and that's where we'll develop him."
The United manager criticised Paul Pogba once again for making a move to Juventus, after rejecting the Old Trafford club's contract offer.
"We were disappointed in Paul Pogba, there is no question about that," the 70-year-old said.
"He showed a lack of respect to the club. But he has made his decision now.
"Although we always felt he was going, he never indicated it until he left. That was disappointing."
Meanwhile, Ferguson gave an update on the situation of Darren Fletcher, who took an indefinite sabbatical from the game due to a chronic bowel complaint.
"He has not started training with us," Ferguson revealed. "He has obviously got great challenges ahead.
"We are happy to be patient but he won't be starting the season.
"It is unfortunate because he is such a magnificent professional and such a nice lad. If it doesn't work for him, he knows he has a position at the club anyway."
