Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's love for signing his countrymen for the club he manages is well-known, and the same seems set to continue on his return as an interim manager to Manchester United.

According to British tabloid The Sun, Solksjaer intends to bring Bournemouth striker Joshua King back to Old Trafford. The 26-year-old is currently in his first Premier League season with the Cherries, having scored 5 goals and assisted 2 more in 15 appearances.

King is currently valued at £25 million and is viewed as the perfect man to replace Marcus Rashford, whose future at the club hangs in doubt. Solksjaer is known to be a keen admirer of the Englishman, having coached him in the reserves at Old Trafford in his formative years.

Solksjaer has already said that he will 'have a say' in the transfer window next month. There also have been rumours about him being restricted to only loan signings in January, so it remains to be seen if he can actually manage to bring the player to the club.
