Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's four-man transfer wishlist as he prepares Man Utd rebuild

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has drawn up a four-man shortlist as he looks to rebuild his Manchester United team when the summer transfer window opens.

The Norwegian is ready to part company with up to five players to free up funds for his dream signings, and turn United back into a team capable of competing for the title.

Solskjaer was given the Manchester United manager's job on a permanent basis just last week and is already looking to put his stamp on the Old Trafford club - and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is on board.

His top summer target, as reported by Mirror Sport, is Jadon Sancho.

The Borussia Dortmund teenager will set the Red Devils back £100million, but he is currently one of football's brightest young talents and would be a long-term investment.

The former Manchester City star appears keen on a move back to the Premier League, and even re-tweeted a post in which Rio Ferdinand admitted he'd love to see him in a Red Devils shirt.

The second man on Solskjaer's summer wishlist is Chelsea midfielder Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The teenager has been attracting serious attention from abroad in recent months, with Bayern Munich very keen on landing him.

Dortmund are also looking at the Englishman, who they see as a possible replacement for Sancho, should he leave in the summer.

The youngster would set Manchester United back a small fortune, and would likely be an alternative to Sancho, should the Red Devils miss out on their top target.

Chelsea would also be reluctant to let Hudson-Odoi go to a Premier League rival - or at all, given the fact they've been hit with a transfer ban.
