Goodwin on Dalby future, Utd's 'strong mentality' & transfer budget
- Published
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premiership trip to face Hibs.
Here are the key points:
On Wrexham loan striker Sam Dalby, who is a free agent in the summer, Goodwin says "we have had loads of discussions" and will "do all we can to try and make sure he is here for next season".
He insists United have moved on from their 5-0 defeat to Celtic and "our season won't be defined" by that result.
On whether the result could knock United off their stride, Goodwin says his side wouldn't be fifth in the table if they lacked a "strong mentality".
He is happy for the Tannadice men to be seen as "underdogs" in the battle for third with Hibs and Aberdeen.
Goodwin praised the "remarkable job" David Gray has done at Hibs but insists United are determined to get back to winning ways.
On whether his transfer budget for next season is already in place, Goodwin says he has been having "really positive conversations" with the club hierarchy and adds: "To continue to move the club forward the budget needs to grow with it."
