What Solskjaer has been told by Woodward, as four top targets revealed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was told before the coronavirus outbreak that he would be backed in the transfer market this summer and has four top targets, according to a report. The Manchester United boss told Sky Sports this week that he believes United’s strong financial position may help him “exploit” the transfer market this summer. “Football is going to get back to normality at one point, and it’s very important we’re ready when that happens,” he said. “Then, the market, who knows how the market is going to react to this? Who knows which clubs need to sell players? There might be just a situation there where you can exploit, and I know that we at Man United we are one of the biggest, and the biggest, financially well-off.” Those bullish comments may come back to haunt the Norwegian, with nobody likely to want to sell to the giants for under market value. The Evening Standard claim that Ed Woodward and the Glazers promised Solskjaer “he would be given the funds to complete his Old Trafford revolution” before the pandemic suspended the game. Three positions are apparently the priority for Solskjaer – midfield, right wing and a centre forward with the Norwegian understood to be ready to reignite his pursuit of Erling Haaland if Dortmund decide to sell this summer. The paper though believes United have four top targets for the summer, with 10 in total mentioned in their article, including Haaland. Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish, James Maddison and Jude Bellingham are United’s “leading targets”. That quartet will likely set United back around £290m this summer, but it’s unlikely the United board will sanction moves for both £60m-rated Grealish and £80m man Maddison. Sancho’s price bracket is the £120m mark, while teenager Bellingham has a price tag of around £30m. Strikers Moussa Dembele and Timo Werner are “also under consideration”, while midfielder Donny van de Beek is an alternative midfield target and centre-backs Matthijs de Ligt and Kalidou Koulibaly are also in the club’s thinking.
