Man Utd: Solskjaer ‘very happy’ with Martial’s hat-trick
Manchester United star Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to sign Monaco star Benoit Badiashile, reports say. It’s claimed the Norwegian has been ‘seduced’ by the defender’s potential ahead of the summer transfer window. And the Red Devils could move for him with Chris Smalling and Phil Jones likely to be shown the door.

And he’s not the only player on United’s transfer radar, with the club also eyeing deals for the likes of Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish of Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa respectively.
Meanwhile, Solskjaer was recently asked about the club’s transfer business ahead of their FA Cup showdown with Norwich City on Saturday.
And he admitted that he was unsure as to how the coronavirus crisis would impact the club’s spending at the end of the season.
"I think the pandemic has hit everyone really hard," said the Norwegian.
"I still think we need to wait and see how things are panning out to know the real effects of the pandemic, to know what kind of financial state we are in.
“We'll have to take a big look at things ourselves to see how hard we've been hit. I know the club has announced a few numbers before.
"It's not for me to say here now we are going to have X amount because I don't really know.
“I don't really know how hard we have been hit. We are a financially strong club, but we are also probably being hit more than anybody else.
"Let's see how quickly we can get our fans back into the stadium and of course the league position is going to be important for us this season. If we can get a trophy, the FA Cup or the Europa League.
"The Europa League will also qualify us for the Champions League, there's still a lot of uncertainty and these three or four months, every businessman in the world, every footballer in the world, I think everyone is still unsure what the effect will be."
