Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has been speaking to the media ahead of Sunday's Premiership trip to play Hearts.

Here are the key lines from his press conference:

  • He's ‘confident’ they will be able to bring in another attacking player.

  • If they do, that will be 13 Summer additions, he said: "The business we have done has been very good’."

  • As well as praising the impact of his summer signings, Goodwin has hailed the players that remain at Tannadice from last term, saying: "[They] have really stepped up this season."

  • When asked if this is a good time to get Hearts, Goodwin said he doesn’t think there is ever a good time to get one of the top teams in the country, adding: "Wounded animals can be dangerous".

  • He is not getting carried away by his side’s strong start to the season, saying: "We are not quite the finished article yet".

  • Vicko Sevelj returns to the squad for their Tynecastle trip, while Ryan Strain remains the only long-term absentee.
