Man Utd: Pundit discusses Solskjaer's transfer plans
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Mike Phelan agreed back in September that the club needed to address three areas in the summer transfer window, reports say. The duo want to bring a right winger to the club with Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho their top target for that position. And a new midfielder and striker is also on their radar as the Red Devils eye Premier League title glory next season.

Grealish is the preferred option but the Aston Villa star’s decision to breach quarantine and isolation rules has seen his stock fall.
Maddison won’t be any easier to sign, with Leicester currently fighting to extend the playmaker’s contract.
Up top, United admire Timo Werner and Moussa Dembele.
But who they end up with is something only time will tell, particularly given how expensive their chosen targets are likely to be.
Ed Woodward has already vowed to back Solskjaer this summer, saying recently: “The recruitment department is working to a clear plan and philosophy, along with Ole and his coaching staff.
“Our focus is on bringing in a combination of experience and the best young players with potential to develop further, fusing graduates from our academy with high-quality acquisitions.
“Our recruitment process focuses on analysis and selection of players over the course of a season, with a view to the following summer transfer window.
“As part of the rebuild we see this coming summer as an important opportunity.
“There has been no shortage of investment in players over the past few years, with over £200m spent since Ole became manager.
“Our aim is to ensure that we continue to achieve consistency in quality of recruitment.”
