Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has Manchester United firing after an emphatic 3-0 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Norwegian coach has had some testing periods during his stint at Old Trafford, but it would seem he is finally settled in his role and the club will no doubt look to support his vision with some fresh faces this summer.
No one is quite sure how much he will have to spend, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill, and with that in mind, here are the latest Manchester United transfer rumours.
United announce loan extensions for Serie A pair
Alexis Sanchez and Chris Smalling will remain on loan at Inter Milan and Roma respectively, after Manchester United confirmed they had agreed to extensions with the clubs.
While both players were due to return to Old Trafford on July 1, they have now extended their loan deals in order to see out the current Serie A season, with United officially announcing the news on Wednesday afternoon.
The pair were loaned out last summer after falling down the pecking order under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and it remains unclear whether they have a future at the club when they do return.
Sancho a no-show as United talk intensifies
Jadon Sancho was absent from Borussia Dortmund’s kit launch video as talk of a move to Manchester United intensified.
Sancho, 20, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer, although reports earlier this week from Sky Sports suggested the Red Devils would not rise above £50million for the player.
And talk of his future resurfaced when the Evening Standard noted that Sancho was absent from the club’s kit-launch video. This came after Bleacher Report claimed United were performing tests to see whether Sancho would be a good fit for the Old Trafford dressing room.
Sancho began his career with Manchester City before joining Dortmund in 2017. He has been in sensational form for the German club this season, registering 17 goals and 17 assists in 32 Bundesliga games.
Grealish deal ‘already done’
United have already agreed a deal to sign Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish, according to Tim Sherwood.
Grealish is one of United’s top midfield targets this summer, and his former manager at Villa Park reckons it’s just a matter of completing the paperwork.
“I think Jack Grealish is a deal which is already done,” Sherwood told Premier League Productions.
“He’s a player that they [Manchester United] need. I honestly believe there’s only one club for Jack Grealish.
Sherwood added: “I don’t think he can stay at Aston Villa, he needs to progress his career. I think he signs for Manchester United.”
