Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opens up on Manchester United transfer plans
According to MEN, Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the club will be active in the transfer market despite the financial crisis affecting the sport.
The Norwegian is happy with the squad at his disposal. He believes that the club are nearing the level required to compete for major honours. Solskjaer also believes that further additions can be made.
“If there are any good deals to be made and players to make us better of course we might have to spend some money on that.”
The break has helped United bring their squad up to full fitness. Superstars Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are now back in the mix as the Red Devils chase a top-four finish.
The club will be in the market for ‘good’ deals as we attempt to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City.
According to the report, the club’s priority lies in bringing in a winger, a playmaker and a midfielder. Jadon Sancho remains United’s priority target but his hefty transfer fee could prove to be an obstacle.
Ed Woodward had claimed back in April that the club could find it difficult to sign marquee players in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our ability to offer Champions League football too could play a major role in being able to attract the best talents.
With us five points adrift of Chelsea, we cannot afford to drop any more points.
