Solskjaer is busy preparing for the next season with Manchester United

#4 Adrien Rabiot considering United offer

The French midfielder has been enduring a nightmare of late at PSG. Rabiot has just 20 appearances for the French giants this season, scoring twice and picking up 1 assist. Adrien Rabiot has not seen action since the start of December last year, because of ongoing issues with his club. He dropped out of PSG Manager Thomas Tuchel's plans, and also refused to sign a contract extension, which made him available for free in the summer. The French midfielder had recently attracted the attention of La Liga side Real Betis, who were willing to sign him.

Mundo Deportivo now reports that Manchester United have put forward a hefty offer for Rabiot, as Solskjaer looks to find an able replacement for Ander Herrera. The Frenchman also represents good value for money, as he will not cost a penny. However, Rabiot comes with a reputation of being very difficult to work with. Is Solskjaer willing to risk bringing such a character to his already fragile dressing room? Only time will tell.
