#2 Solskjaer will be given £200 million transfer kitty to spend this summer

Solskjaer has a huge war crest this summer!

After a disappointing season where United finished sixth in the Premier League table and were knocked out of the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League in disappointing fashion, it is time for a big summer at Old Trafford. There has been reports of Lukaku leaving and Pogba also mulling over a move to Real Madrid. Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia are long gone and Alexis Sanchez could well be on his way out too.

Solskjaer has long reiterated his desire to build his team around youngsters and shape them into superstars of tomorrow. But it is also clear that United are in urgent need of some damage control, and this is why this bit of news will come as a respite for United fans. The Daily Express reports that Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has handed his Norwegian manager a transfer kitty of £200 million!

Any money recuperated from the sale of existing players would also be added to the kitty, so that amount could grow to at least £300 million. That could be enough to land United one world class defender, one right-back, one midfielder and a right winger as well! Excited, United fans?
