Solskjaer wants to make at least 3 new attacking additions to his team

While the world cannot get enough of United and center backs, here is refreshing news. The Express reports that Solskjaer is looking to make three attacking additions to his squad this summer, as he aims to get his side back to their glory days. United have already set their eyes on Daniel James,who is set to join the Red Devils from Swansea in the next month.

However, he will not be the only attacking addition to this team in the summer. Solskjaer reportedly has two more players in his mind, who the Norwegian thinks can fit into his style of play. One of them is Nicolas Pepe, the Lille winger, and the other is Steven Bergwijn of PSV.

Pepe has enjoyed fantastic season with the Ligue 1 side, scoring 23 goals and registering 11 assists from 40 games in all competitions for Lille. Bergwijn, on the other hand, has been equally impressive for PSV Eindhoven, scoring 14 goals and registering 13 assists from 39 games in all competitions. If the Red Devils do manage to get all three by the end of the summer, Solskjaer, and United fans, will be extremely pleased.
