Let’s see who they want, and who Solskjaer's planning to get rid of.
Here, Starsport’s Harry Pratt analyses Manchester United’s likely summer transfer business.
State of play: Complete chaos. Big names want out. Still no technical director. Loads of players needed. What an awful summer it is for the Norwegian.
Budget: £200m-plus. That’s good news. CEO Ed Woodward insists they will support the under-fire boss Solskjaer n to the hilt.
Needs: Sort out, sell or build a team around Paul Pogba. A quality central defender, a creative playmaker, a veritable winger, a deadly striker – essentially an entire backbone.
Going: Juan Mata, Alexis Sanchez, Antonio Valencia.
Up in the air: Pogba, David de Gea, Romelu Lukaku, Eric Bailly, Anthony Martial.
Targets:
- Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli)
- Dan James (Swansea)
- Declan Rice (West Ham)
- Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)
- Youri Tielemans (Monaco)
- Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace)
- Harry Maguire (Leicester)
