United manager Neil Warnock says fans will know more about his plans for next season towards the end next week.

The boss will be speaking with his players after the weekend game against Leicester City and will announce his retained list next week.

"This has been a busy week in terms of talking about recruitment and we've got a busy few days coming up," said the boss.

"I'll be speaking with the players next week and we'll make an announcement after that so people know where we are.

"The next few weeks will be very busy."

The boss has been linked with a host of players in recent weeks and he admits that speculation is likely to increase ten-fold once the season comes to an end.

"I'd like to keep the fans informed where possible, but I'm not going to be commenting on every individual that's mentioned," he said.

"I've read we're speaking to 'this player' or 'that player'…I'm supposed to have signed three players from QPR…there's even been players linked I've never heard of.

"Journalists need things to fill their columns with, particularly in the summer when there's not a lot else to write about apart from speculation and sometimes they'll be right, sometimes it'll be inventive.

"The best thing I can do is keep quiet."
