Man Utd: Solskjaer jokes about signing Jaap Stam and Johnsen
Manchester United boss Solskjaer is keen to overhaul the squad this summer, with the Red Devils manager determined to end the club’s time in the wilderness.
When the 46-year-old was at Old Trafford as a player he flourished under the stewardship of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Manchester United have lost their way in the six years since Ferguson’s retirement, however, failing to get anywhere near the Premier League title.
Solskjaer is well aware that the squad bequeathed to him by Jose Mourinho simply isn’t good enough.

“All these mid-tier clubs won’t let players go for £5m, £6m, £8m, £10m now.”
