Man Utd: Solskjaer says he is 'delighted' with Fernandes deal
Manchester United have lodged a £22million bid for Fenerbahce star Vedat Muriqi ahead of the transfer deadline, according to reports. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to sign a new striker and confirmed that after the club’s 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Manchester City.
Manchester United are seeking a new striker in the wake of Marcus Rashford’s injury, with the England international set to miss the next three months with a back fracture.
The Red Devils had initially hoped to land Erling Haaland, with the 19-year-old even telling Solskjaer he’ll make the move.
In the end, United were misled with Haaland moving to Bundesliga titans Borussia Dortmund instead.
Now, the Red Devils are frantically looking for a new No 9 as they seek a place in next season’s Champions League.
Solskjaer confirmed on Wednesday night that he wanted a new striker, saying: “We need more goalscorers, more goals, someone who wants to break their nose or toe to score.
