Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could attain a Galactico signing this summer.
As attention deflects on Europa League clash against Sevilla on Sunday, the plans to continue the rebuild have been set out months ago by Manchester United insiders. Enjoying an emphatic finish to the 2019/20 campaign, Solskjaer is keen to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City next season.
To continue the project which began last summer, Solskjaer has identified attacking firepower as the priority in the ongoing transfer market. Jadon Sancho is the priority, however talks with Borussia Dortmund have not progressed as anticipated by Man United.
Solskjaer, since his appointment as the permanent boss, has eyed Sancho to be a vital part of his frontline. But, a move could only materialise this summer as the player decided against moving away from Germany 12 months ago. However, the clubs have failed to reach an agreement over the transfer fee.

Meanwhile, Man United have started scouring the transfer market for alternative options, citing Solskjaer’s desperate need to add a top-notch wide player to his attacking department. Several options have emerged, namely Kingsley Coman, Federico Chiesa, and Ousmane Dembele.
Recently, the agent of former Reds superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been working on a deal to allow wonderkid Ansu Fati to secure a move away to Man United from Barcelona. Garnering constant links, this story could gather serious pace in a coming few weeks.
On the other side, Vinicius Junior, Real Madrid’s emerging superstar, has been a topic of discussion for Manchester United insiders, as well. The Brazilian starlet could a subject of pursuit for the Red Devils hierarchy should Solskjaer align with the scouting department, as per reports from Defensa Central via Sport Witness.
Madrid, who are struggling for finances amid the pandemic and commitment towards a stadium renovation, might be tempted to let go of Vinicius- who finds himself behind Marco Asensio and Rodrygo Goes in the pecking order- if an enticing offer is presented on their table.
Despite various impediments, Manchester United are still focussed on attaining their number one target, Jadon Sancho, with the transfer window not closing before October 5- contrary to Dortmund’s “deadline” of August 10 to sign Jadon Sancho.
Do you think Jadon Sancho will leave Borussia Dortmund this summer?
