Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is plotting a £250million makeover of his Manchester United squad when the summer transfer window opens.

The Red Devils boss is set to overhaul his playing staff with several individuals set to make way for the new arrivals at Old Trafford.

Antonio Valencia is among the Manchester United players heading for the exit, while Solskjaer has put together a list of targets to boost his struggling squad.

Manchester United have been off the pace in the Premier League this season, as Liverpool and Manchester City have run away with the competition.

But Lingard is confident the Red Devils can get themselves back in the mix next campaign if they start on the front foot.

Lingard added: "We have to put together a run of games like we did between January to April, I think we were on a par with both of them if not better.
