Right-back: Aaron Wan-Bissaka; striker: Raúl Jiménez

I would be slightly disappointed if Manchester United signed a right-back this summer. Diogo Dalot was brought in last year and at 20-years of age, he looks like he has a bright future ahead of him.

Therefore, why block his ability to progress by bringing in a ready-made defender. Yes, Dalot has elements of his game he needs to work on, but the only way he will learn is if he is allowed to make mistakes and then learn from them. The Class of 92′ would not have been delivering perfect performances every week, Sir Alex knew they would make mistakes, but backed them to learn from them and improve.

However, if Solskjaer has got it set in his mind he wants to bring in a right-back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka would be my choice. He’s demonstrated this season he has a lot of talent. Given his ripe age too, he and Dalot could compete equally for the spot in the team. /

The other name I mentioned above was Wolves striker Raúl Jiménez. Not for one minute am I suggesting he should come in and replace Marcus Rashford, but if Romelu Lukaku is not keen on being the second choice, I think this man would be a worthwhile addition.

Next. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed permanent manager of Manchester United - but is it too early still?!. dark

The 27-year old has scored 12 goals and registered seven assists this campaign and most of those have been playing on the counter-attack, a style which Solskjaer has been very keen to use at United so far. He’s tall, quick, a great goalscorer and now knows the league. On loan from Benfica, United would have to do a deal with the Portuguese club but I’m sure Jiménez would jump at the chance to join.
