4 players who should make Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s selling list
Manchester United are well poised to finish inside the top-four this season.
After an underwhelming start to the Premier League campaign last summer, attaining a Champions League spot looked highly unlikely. Though an astute business in the January window coupled with targeted coaching drills has ensured United have their UCL fate in their own hands, requiring to win their remaining two games to finish in the third position.
Recovery made by Solskjaer’s side is applause-worthy, but there remains a catch. The 31-point gap between Man United and league champions Liverpool should be a succinct explanation of the gulf between the elite side and the one aspiring to be at par with them.
Man United insiders, after making some sagacious decisions for past two markets, have to buckle up for a crucial summer to avoid stagnating when others around them will make the moves to close the gap to the Premier League’s pinnacle.

In the impending transfer period, Jadon Sancho has been the prime target for the United hierarchy as Solskjaer considers the English winger as a vital part of his attacking setup. However, tight finances have been a sticking point in pushing this deal, thus far.
Despite optimum funds available, the administration is keen to optimise their transfer expenditure by reducing the net spend- player sales being the option to achieve this.
So for Solskjaer, it’s another important decision to make while choosing the players who are surplus to requirements who would generate a decent transfer fee.
