Solskjaer issues two demands to Ed Woodward

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been tasked with the toughest test of his entire managerial career - reviving a fallen Manchester United team and ushering another epoch of glory. With Ed Woodward as his go-to aid, the Norwegian has demanded the CEO to fulfil two conditions regarding the same.

First and foremost, Solskjaer desires to have a massive transfer war-chest to compete with other European heavyweights for signing the best players available in the market.

United are looking to improve their right-back position in the light of Antonio Valencia's departure, with players such as Thomas Meunier and Aaron Wan-Bissaka high up on their wishlist.

Coming to the midfield, the club has been targetting the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix and Daniel James to replace the departed Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera. The Red Devils are also aiming for a central defender, with Matthijs de Ligt and Kalidou Koulibaly being linked with moves to Old Trafford.

Secondly, Solskjaer also wants Woodward to make sure Paul Pogba stays put at the club. After a bittersweet season for the Red Devils, the Frenchman has been linked with an exit, with Real Madrid and Juventus said to be circling around for his signature.

Paul Pogba to remain at Manchester United

Paul Pogba won't be sold this summer

French midfielder Paul Pogba's future at Old Trafford has been precarious for the past few weeks, with reports linking him to a transfer out of the club. The 25-year-old is currently being wanted by Real Madrid steward Zinedine Zidane while his former club Juventus are also mulling over the prospect of bringing him back to Italy.

However, according to Catalan outlet Sport via The Express, Manchester United CEO Ed Woodward has held secret talks with Pogba and let him known that he won't be sold this summer. United gaffer Solskjaer is also keen on keeping hold of the midfielder as he embarks on rebuilding Manchester United.

Pogba himself has also addressed the issue by saying he is happy to remain at the club.

"At the moment I'm happy in Manchester. I play. There's a new coach."

"Real Madrid is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I've always said it is a dream club for every player."

Paris Saint Germain plotting a bid for David De Gea

David De Gea is inching closer to a Manchester United exit

Manchester United fans may have had some good news to savour about Paul Pogba today, but the same can't be said about David De Gea. The Spanish shot-stopper is said to be unhappy with the club's plight and is looking for a switch. However, he is ready to stay if United make him one of the top earners at Old Trafford.

According to ESPN via The Guardian, Paris Saint Germain are ready to raid Manchester United for their star goalkeeper as a replacement for Gianluigi Buffon. The 41-year-old Italian is said to be looking for a move after just one season with Les Parisiens.

United already have a few replacement prospects in sight; they have been linked with moves for Gianluigi Donnarumma, Jan Oblak and Dean Henderson. Whether the Red Devils manage to convince De Gea to stay put is something only time will tell.

Matthijs de Ligt to snub Manchester United in favour of PSG and Barcelona

Matthijs de Ligt will snub a move to Manchester United

The Matthijs de Ligt transfer saga seems to be hitting new dimensions with each passing day. The Dutchman was heavily being linked with a move to Manchester United after the Red Devils agreed to offer him a lucrative deal. However, the rumour mill has been reporting a twist in the tail as of late.

According to RMC Sport via The Mirror, de Ligt will snub the Premier League giants, having narrowed down his options to Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain.

Barcelona have already negotiated a deal with the 19-year-old and are adamant on granting him a higher package. Meanwhile, Paris Saint Germain are said to be ready to pull out all the stops and pay whatever it takes to bring the Ajax skipper to the French capital.

Daniel James and Bruno Fernandes

Daniel James has agreed to join Manchester United

Manchester United fans have been pining for a positive result regarding transfers and it seems they will finally be getting one.

Swansea winger Daniel James is just whiskers away from completing a move to Old Trafford in a £15m deal. The transfer was initially to be completed in May but got delayed as the Welshman lost his father. James is expected to undergo a medical as early as today and could be announced as a Manchester United by the end of this week.

Manchester United are also set to complete and beat rivals Manchester City to the signing of FC Porto playmaker Bruno Fernandes. The midfielder will be signing a contract with the English giants after the UEFA Nations League comes to an end, according to Portuguese outlet A Bola via The Independent.

Bruno Fernandes is currently valued at £71m.
