Ole Gunnar Solskjaer speaks out on Machester United signing Jadon Sancho
According to Independent, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke for the first time after Manchester United completed the signing of Jadon Sancho. The Norwegian was visibly delighted to add a player of Sancho’s calibre to the side and he was eagerly waiting to get to work with such a talented player.
It has taken a year but Manchester United finally have their man. United and Borussia Dortmund agreed on a deal in principle for the transfer of Jadon Sancho. He will set back United by £73million from their transfer budget.
Earlier today, Manchester United made his signing official. He has signed a 5-year deal that will run until 2026, with the option of a further year. Sancho arrives at the club amidst much fanfare after four very successful years at Borussia Dortmund.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has spoken for the first time after the club confirmed a deal for Sancho.
“Jadon epitomises the type of player I want to bring to the club, he is a forward player in the best traditions of Manchester United. He will form an integral part of my squad for years to come and we look forward to seeing him blossom. His goals and assists records speak for themselves and he will also bring tremendous pace, flair and creativity to the team.
“Old Trafford will give him the platform he needs to release his untapped talent and perform at the highest level. For a player of his age, Jadon has already achieved a great deal and showed the courage to go and prove himself abroad. We all look forward to welcoming Jadon to the squad as we prepare for the new campaign.”

Sancho’s deal was definitely necessary as United lacked a right-sided attacker for a while. Solskjaer will finally have an orthodox right-winger to deploy on that side after years of shoo-ins. United fans will be hoping to see their new addition in action real soon.
