Man Utd: Solskjaer responds to questions on Haaland
Manchester United are planning to offer West Ham three players in order to sign Declan Rice, according to reports. The England international is an Ole Gunnar Solskjaer transfer target. And a move to Old Trafford could be on the cards when the window reopens at the end of the season.

Lingard has excelled on loan at the London Stadium, scoring on Sunday as West Ham beat Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham 2-1 at the London Stadium.
Matic, meanwhile, has fallen down the pecking order at United this season.
And Jones will be allowed to leave, with the England international never living up to his potential following his arrival from Blackburn Rovers in 2011.
Chelsea were previously seen as frontrunners in the race to sign Rice.
Frank Lampard wanted the midfielder during his time at the Stamford Bridge helm but, after missing out on the Hammers star back in the summer, things appear to have changed.
Thomas Tuchel seems to have other ideas and the Blues aren’t expected to now pursue Rice at the end of the campaign.
Meanwhile, former Liverpool star Peter Crouch recently had his say on Rice - and expressed a belief any move to United would ‘make sense’.
"I love Declan Rice," Crouch told the Daily Mail.
"I have got a few friends who are West Ham fans and they want the club to break the bank, make him club captain and do all that it takes to keep him there for the next 15 years.
"He’s a brilliant player and could play for any of the top sides.

"Your suggestion makes sense for United. Lingard needs to get away as his time at Old Trafford is up, while Rice is the kind of player United need to add.
"Would West Ham do that deal? I’m not so sure. We’ll see what happens."
West Ham are soaring under David Moyes.
And Rice hailed the work of the Scotsman when talking to talkSPORT, saying: “I can say first-hand this is probably the best West Ham team I have been a part of in the four years I have been in the team.
