Solskjaer on investment and summer plans
I speak to the players all the time; they know my expectations and standards. I have got three years here now and I am going to do whatever I can to make this club successful. We do that together, it is not players against managers here.

You can’t change the team in one transfer window. It isn't going to happen overnight, but we have the time frame and we have the backing. We are all realistic enough to see where we are and you just don’t go 'bang' and move from 70 points to 90 points.

You can't say that we haven't invested enough money. If you look at the money that's been spent, the owners have invested loads of cash and will continue that. I've been in meetings and we've had discussions about that.

We want the player with the right quality and the right personality. All my life I've believed in human beings and what drives people and what makes you successful in the end. Driven by money or fame they are not right for Man United, or my team.

I need players who reflect me as a person and my values. We don't want them if they are only coming because they were offered 20 per cent more.

Ducker: Herrera in squad for Chelsea game. Am told he was ‘gutted’ to miss Barca, Everton and City games #mufc

Solskjaer was pretty much guaranteeing he was staying next season.... that is either naive or genuinely true. Personally don't believe he will, not surprise me if Raiola is escalating it all as usual. I guess we can't complain because we knew the whole package we got when we signed him.

I personally just want rid of Pogba, I just find him irritating and too inconsistent in a United shirt. get 2 or 3 good replacements, problem is I don't trust this board to do that.

Last time we replaced a world-class player like Ronaldo we got ****** Obertan and Michael Owen.

You'd never say he was leaving even if e was. Ferguson did it with Ronaldo for a whole year.

That said, he's not going to Madrid for less than 100m. Madrid want Hazard too, and despite how they act and how the papers lap it up, here's the big kicker: their finances show they can't even afford to but either one of Hazard or Pogba without selling players first...

They'll offer us bale as a bargaining chip, hope to god Woodward doesn't entertain it. However if they want to discuss Varane in the conversation.... that's a different story.

Yep would take Varane, but only if we were going for Milinkovic-Savic

We signed Valencia to replace Ronaldo

They can gives us Varane + 30m and Bale on loan for the season while paying all his wages

 

[zzeezzy]

I don't even think Varane will leave anyway, seen this smoke all before and then suddenly a contract looms.

Im not 100% sold on Savic tbh. He’s had dire this season and the games I’ve watched it’s been like watching Pogba but with even less quality and less effort and they still want around the 100m Mark. And a lot of Lazio fans on various places have had about enough of him. Would rather go for Fernandes, Aour, Pjanic, Havertz

 

[Vanjagl]

I would take Bruno Fernandes over SMS at the moment. But Pogba aint leaving soon.

The only one better on that list is Pjanic and he's 4 years older

Having both Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in midfield would be very naughty!

 

[Vanjagl]

Yeah, but then you would need someone like Kante who'll be able to run for them both. That said, Fernandes is massively improving in becoming a complete midfielder as opposed to simple attacking mid during his time in Italy.

Also, speaking of potential DDG replacement, is it worth taking a look at Pete's son?

Yeah me to. I’m not sold on Savic tbh.

Fernandes then Ndombele or Pellegrini, Partey, Rodri next to him

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Can’t wait to see Dean Henderson in the Prem next year don’t think some realise just how good he is and will only get better.

 

[Vanjagl]

I would like to get Savic, dont get me wrong. But I still feel Bruno will be better.

If De Gea is to leave this summer, would you put your trust into hands of a GK who never played a game in top level?

 

[Tyton]

Seems like nobody wants top 4 this year.

I mean, we've got Romero...

Can’t be given anymore chances. Leicester done there job for us. We absolutely must win even if it’s a 93 min deflection of Martial *******!

Romero is a perfect no.2, but terrible no,1. He flaps all the time, good shot stopper but even when he last played conceded cheap goal at his near post.
