Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eyes three more signings at Manchester United
Speaking on Reach PLC’s Transfer Window podcast (h/t Express), Duncan Castles has revealed that Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eyeing two more signings once the move for Raphael Varane is completed.
The Red Devils are looking to revamp their squad after another season where they fell short of major trophies. With Jadon Sancho already in the bag, attention will now be focused on reinforcing others areas of the squad.
As things stand, the focus now appears to be to bring in a centre-back namely Varane. His contract at Real expires at the end of next season and the La Liga giants do not want to risk losing him for free. Cashing in on him this summer will benefit our interests.
According to the report, United are yet to agree on a fee with Real. The Spaniards want between £42.9m and £51.5m for the France international. Not a small amount for a player who will soon be a free agent.
Castles has gone on to add that Solskjaer also wants to also sign a midfielder and a right-back before the end of the summer. The Norwegian appears to have been handed a sizeable transfer budget to make his move.
“He still wants other reinforcements in midfield and right-back as well.”
Castles also believes that the extravagant summer will ramp up the pressure on Solskajer to deliver silverware. He will have a squad capable of competing and no amount of excuses can spare if we go trophyless again.
