Manchester United won’t be signing six players this summer- Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Man United embarrassed at Everton

Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a nightmare day at the office on Sunday.

After being dominated by Barcelona earlier in the week, United were looking to bounce back vs Everton.

They also had the chance to move up to 4th place with a win over the Toffees.

However, the Red Devils were well and truly embarrassed by Marco Silva’s men.

The game finished 4-0 to Everton with goals coming from Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott.

Solskjaer on United’s transfer plans

With United clearly in need of some investment, their fans may have been hoping for a big overhaul this summer.

However, speaking in a recent interview, Solskjaer stated that while United will sign players this summer, fans shouldn’t expect six signings in the upcoming window:

“There will be new players coming in over summer but I don’t think you can expect six.

“I don’t think any manager you ask would be in favour of that amount of change anyway. We want to rebuild but it is going to have to be gradual, over a few windows.

“We plan to be in the top four, we plan to be in the Champions League next season and we want players who can keep us in the Champions League and move us up the table.

“But we know there is not going to be a quick fix. We have to take it step by step.”As quoted by ESPN.

United have been linked with a lot of stars already this summer, including Jadon Sancho and Declan Rice.

Solskjaer is targeting some of the best emerging English talent in Jadon Sancho, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Declan Rice and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
