Man Utd news: Solskjaer to scrap Mourinho plans, Pogba feud revelation, Sanchez mood claim
MANCHESTER UNITED news is coming in ahead of their Premier League clash with Bournemouth. Express Sport brings you all the latest from Old Trafford with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Jose Mourinho, Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez all featuring.
Solskjaer: There are things that we need to improve
Man Utd boss may scrap Mourinho plans
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may scrap three Jose Mourinho transfer plans in January.
Mourinho was eyeing Toby Alderweireld and Ivan Perisic for the New Year - as well as preparing to cut Paul Pogba loose - with Calcio Mercato saying earlier this month that Perisic was a huge priority.

But, now that Solskjaer is in charge, all three of those things are unlikely to happen.
Alderweireld and Perisic - who are both 29 - are not feasible transfer targets in the eyes of the club’s board.
And Pogba is not going anywhere with the United star now much happier.
Pogba feud revelation
So, why did Pogba have such issues with Mourinho during their time at United together?
The answer has now seemingly been revealed.
The Telegraph say Pogba’s biggest grievance with his manager was that he felt Mourinho often made him a scapegoat for United’s shortcomings as a team.
It was that which lead agent Mino Raiola to offer the player to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in January.
But Pogba is set to stay at Old Trafford having flourished under Solskjaer so far.
Sanchez mood claim
Chile star Mauricio Isla has claimed Alexis Sanchez is ‘sad’ at United - but has backed his compatriot to turn things around.
"He’s sad, but I know he’s going to reverse his situation,” he told La Cuarta.
"He is someone who wants to succeed at Manchester United. It’s something he went there for.
"There is a reason why he is the best paid player and he will prove it this coming year."
