Solskjaer wants to strengthen the right-wing
Manchester United have had their £67 million opening bid for Jadon Sancho turned down. The England international is one of the main targets of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this summer after an agreement failed to materialise for the winger last year due to a gap between the two parties overvaluation. However, Solskjaer remains interested in strengthening the right-wing, and discussions are underway with Sancho’s camp and BVB over a potential move with the ex-Manchester City man keen on the departure. Sancho remains the primary target for Man United despite missing out last summer, and BVB are prepared to let him leave in the current transfer window if they receive the fee they are after. United are optimistic that a deal could be struck for the England star. However, their initial bid fell short of what BVB are willing to accept.
Man United have to boost themselves
It is believed the initial bid was around £67 million, and the club are expected to consider making another bid to land a 21-year-old England international. BVB have explained to United the terms of a sale, and Sancho is open to a transfer. The United manager expects two or three new faces in the current window. He hopes to improve the last campaign’s second-place Premier League finish and the UEFA Europa League final failure. “We are second best but too far behind to threaten those who won. Then we have to boost ourselves,” Ole told reporters. “Of course, something will happen in the transition window. The world has become very different from 15-16 months ago, but we have to make some moves in the transfer window, but also with the team.”
“It is never possible to sit back. You are constantly looking for reinforcements. Football is dynamic so that unexpected things can happen like injuries, illnesses, something familiar, or someone wants to move. So you have to take everything into consideration and reflection. I never sit down and think that ‘now the team is the way I want it to be’ because you always see how some other players or other teams doing something you want.”
