Paper Talk: Solskjaer eyes £150m double deal to fix two Man Utd problems; West Ham hope to sign English striker trio Manchester United hope to spend around £150m this summer on two quality signings, while West Ham have a three-man English striker shopping list, according to Tuesday’s transfer gossip. SOLSKAJER HAS THREE-MAN WANTED LIST Manchester United are targeting £150m worth of new talent this summer in the shape of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Antoine Griezmann, claims a report. United have done well to close the gap at the top this season, but still remain some distance behind Manchester City. Indeed, recognising their need to reduce the margin, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks set to spend heavily this summer.

The France international has scored 12 goals and assisted 10 others under Ronald Koeman this season. Griezmann would prefer to stay, it is understood. But with Barcelona looking to rid themselves of his wages, a move could be pushed upon him. Finally, United are also keen on Varane.

SOLSKAJER HAS THREE-MAN WANTED LIST

Manchester United are targeting £150m worth of new talent this summer in the shape of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Antoine Griezmann, claims a report.

United have done well to close the gap at the top this season, but still remain some distance behind Manchester City.

Indeed, recognising their need to reduce the margin, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks set to spend heavily this summer.

According to the Daily Express, via Eurosport, Solskjaer wants to boost his attack and also sign an experienced centre-half.

Sancho has been on United’s shopping list for some time. However, there is a growing feeling he could leave Borussia Dortmund this summer for a fee close to £90m.

Should they fail, however, Griezmann is emerging as a genuine Plan B.

It’s claimed a fee as low as £50m could secure the signing of the Frenchman with Barcelona crippled by debts.

The France international has scored 12 goals and assisted 10 others under Ronald Koeman this season.

Griezmann would prefer to stay, it is understood. But with Barcelona looking to rid themselves of his wages, a move could be pushed upon him.

Finally, United are also keen on Varane. With just 12 months left on his deal this summer, Real Madrid will be looking to offload the Frenchman. He would still cost around £60m. At 27, he’s seen as being in his prime and an ideal partner for Harry Maguire.
