Solskjaer will need the Manchester United board to back him in the transfer window
Manchester United are reportedly going to appoint a Director of Football to oversee transfer business. As of now, no such appointment has been confirmed by the club and until that happens, the Norwegian has to carry out the planning himself.

The squad does need some reinforcements in the summer to compete at all fronts. A defender remains a priority, even though Lindelof and Smalling have been decent in recent games. Solskjaer has to decide whether he trusts these two or if he wants someone in the summer.
The right side of the United attack has cried out for support for quite some time now, so Solskjaer will be sorting out his target. Also, Valencia’s impending departure means that the club is also short at the right-back position.
Things should have been a little more settled in the midfield, but Herrera’s contract situation could cause some worries. Solskjaer has to keep a close watch these as well and decide in time if the Spaniard’s departure and a new investment is worth the risk.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
