Manchester United to be granted massive £200m summer transfer budget

Manchester United will be bolstered by a massive war chest in the summer

As Manchester United attempt to turn their season around under their new caretaker manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the club's authorities have already begun planning for next season, according to reports from The Sun.

The report states that despite his own future at the club is still uncertain, Solskjaer will reportedly have a huge say in identifying transfer targets for the summer window. Speaking about the matter, the Norwegian said:

"I’ve got to know the players' potential, how far they are from that and how they can build or rebuild — and put my views into the club.

"How we want to look in a year or two, what kind of players we need and want.

"It is about what kind of personality to look for. It’s about finding players with the Man United identity and DNA.”

The report also states that the club's owners, the Glazers, have reportedly decided to financially back the club by providing them with a massive war chest of £200 million to be spent on transfers in the summer window.
