Sir Alex Ferguson

Manchester United’s caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted that the club have plans of bolstering the first-team squad when the transfer window reopens next month. The Red Devils are currently struggling to stay alive in the top-four race with an 11-point gap already and Solskjaer has a huge task ahead, if the club are to return to the Champions League next term.

Speaking to reporters, Solskjaer said that he may have an input on the incoming signings, although much of his focus would be on understanding and improving the players within the existing squad, he quipped: “I will have an input but the job is to get to know the players, observe them I’ve seen more or less every game from Norway but to get to know the players, what do I think I can improve them on and the club have got the recruitment and scouting, they’ve got their targets but I’ve not sat down and talked about that.”
