Solskjaer reviews Man Utd's 1-1 draw with Southampton
Manchester United have 'distanced themselves' from a late summer move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, according to reports. Saul is 'set to leave' the La Liga champions in the current transfer window, with Chelsea in pole position for his signature.
Adidas and Manchester United have launched their official 2021/22 home jersey, putting a modern twist on their classic club styles.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that Chelsea have approached Atleti about signing the 26-year-old on a season-long loan with a buy option.
He has added that United have recently asked about Saul but are yet to submit a formal offer for his services.
The Red Devils' interest is concrete, though, with reputable club insider Jonathan Shrager claiming Saul was discussed as a serious option as recently as Tuesday morning.
However, the latest reports suggest United's interest in the Spaniard isn't as advanced as it seems.

According to The Mail's David Kent, United have distanced themselves from a pursuit of Saul.
The club's transfer strategy under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and current financial situation have a significant role to play in the stance.
Unless United offload a midfielder in the coming days, they will be patient over their desire for upgrades in the position.
It would be a worry among fans, with Solskjaer's need for more quality in defensive midfield pinpointed by the lacklustre display at Southampton last weekend.
