Oxford United head coach Aaron Ramsey expressed his unwavering commitment to the club despite facing a temporary transfer embargo imposed by the EFL. This restriction prevents the team from signing new players until compliance with salary cost management protocol (SCMP) regulations is achieved.

Taking on his first permanent managerial role, Ramsey previously served as interim manager for Cardiff City in 2025. Although the transfer window poses challenges, he remains optimistic about a resolution before January.

"I've been informed that will happen so hopefully it is the case," Ramsey stated during an interview with BBC Radio Oxford.

He highlighted the need for certain measures to be implemented in the coming month but emphasized the quality of his current squad.

• Oxford recently returned from a successful pre-season training camp in Spain.
• The team secured a 3-1 victory against Aldershot Town in a friendly match.
• Upcoming fixtures include friendlies against Barnet, Crawley Town, and Ipswich Town.
• The League Cup campaign begins against Leyton Orient on 8 August, followed by their opening League One match at home against MK Dons a week later.

Ramsey reassured fans by stating, "That's a real sign of intent from the owners," expressing confidence in retaining the squad over the summer. He praised his players' commitment and performance standards, noting their exceptional effort in training and matches.

With a positive outlook, Ramsey is eager to build on the team's momentum as they prepare for the upcoming season.
