But he was unable to sign the Dortmund star due to United’s failure to secure a place in this season’s Champions League.
This summer, Solskjaer is hopeful the Red Devils will have the right resources in order to acquire Sancho.
But PSG could be a difficult side for the winger to turn down.
Another club currently involved in the battle to sign Sancho is Liverpool - and former Premier League forward Jan Aage Fjortoft have spoken to people in the know.
“I asked a journalist who follows [Sancho] closely from one of the biggest papers in Germany,” Fjortoft said.
“I asked if he will go to Manchester United but he said ‘No, no, no, Sancho will go to Liverpool’.
“Manchester United is in for him as well and there are four or five big candidates as well but he thought that because of the friendship between Klopp and this club they would prefer him to go to Liverpool.
“They said imagine if they had for or five candidates who all pay the same, they will let him go where they have the friends.”
Fjortoft then revealed Liverpool could sign Timo Werner if they don’t get Sancho.

“Obviously going to Manchester United and Liverpool is two different perspectives,” Fjortoft added.
“Going to Liverpool might not matter too much for him, but it might for Timo Werner, who is the other candidate.
“Timo Werner costs half of the price of Sancho, so could they take both? Would they put Sancho on the bench?
“Manchester United the sports perspectives are not the same.
“You are not sure if they will get into the Champions League. Solskjaer could try to talk him into the plan of the club.”
