Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants 4 players to be signed in the summer

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to reinforce the Red Devils lineup with a few top signings in the summer. He held a meeting with the club's top brass recently and informed them that there are 4 positions that he wants to strengthen in the summer.

Solskjaer wants the club to sign a top Right Back as Ashley Young is not getting any younger and is struggling to keep up with the pace of the Premier League. Secondly, he wants to sign a player at left-back who can cover for Luke Shaw.

The third position that the Norwegian wants to strengthen is at RW. United haven't had an out-and-out right winger for years now. Lastly, Ole would like to sign an attacking midfielder but it is not as pressing an issue.
