Ole Gunnar Solskjaer outlines Man Utd spending plans this summer

Manchester United will look to do business this summer if the right player becomes available for the right price says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Red Devils boss has been at the helm for 18 months and overseen one summer transfer window.

United spent close to £150m on three players and, despite the financial affects of the coronavirus, the Norwegian believes they may have to invest again.

Solskjaer set out a clear recruitment policy and he could still guide the club to the Champions League.

But they remain miles off the levels set by arch rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.

Nevertheless they remain a draw for players and have been linked with the likes of Jadon Sancho, James Maddison and Jack Grealish.

And Solskjaer wants to continue improving his squad as they target a return to the summit of English football.

"Manchester City and Liverpool, the last couple of seasons, have put the standard where it should be to win the league," said the United boss.

"We've developed over the season and now we had a spell of 12 unbeaten and now you add Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford to that and you're thinking, 'Yeah, we're not too far away' and I'm very happy with the squad.

"If there are any good deals to be made and players to make us better of course we might have to spend some money on that but the squad is great to work with and it's moving in the right direction.

"We're still not where we want to be, close enough to challenge for the Premier League trophy but we take one step at a time."

The £67m signing of Bruno Fernandes has been a catalyst for United's upward trajectory in 2020.

While the likes of Odion Ighalo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, both players sign by Solskjaer, have proved to be big hits at Old Trafford.
