Jim Goodwin spilled the tea, revealing Dundee United has "one or two" potential incomings after their tight 1-0 victory at Stirling Albion. Zac Sapsford’s added-time penalty sealed a winning start for United in their Premier Sports Cup group, but it sounds like Goodwin is far from done building his squad.
Goodwin Is Cooking Something Up
Goodwin dropped a hint, telling Premier Sports, "We've got one or two in the pipeline at the moment that are bubbling away." He sounded optimistic, expecting "a bit of positive news" on at least one player "either over the weekend or early part of next week." The manager was clear about what they need: "We certainly need a couple of wide players at least." This is huge, especially with Republic of Ireland's Will Ferry, who can play wide on the left, linked with a move away and not even in the squad for Saturday's game.Youth Is Making Noise
It wasn't all about potential new faces. Sixteen-year-old substitute Cohen Leiper made a serious impact against Stirling, and Goodwin couldn't be happier. He said Leiper "thoroughly deserves" the praise and "got his rewards." The manager highlighted the excitement young wingers bring, noting, "You could even hear the supporters there beside him the excitement that young wingers give to the crowd when they just go and get at people." That kind of energy is infectious, and it's awesome to see a young player step up so early. This Premier Sports Cup group just kicked off with a win, but these potential new signings could be exactly what Dundee United needs to kick things into high gear. What kind of positive news are we looking forward to this week?This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
