Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer responded to long linked player Jadon Sancho about a possible transfer in his post-match press conference yesterday.
Jadon Sancho has been tipped to join United in the summer for several months now. He's been lightening up the Bundesliga for some years now, this season though has been his best in Germany as he racked up 20 goals and 20 assists in 44 games in all competitions. He plays in a position where United has been lacking a genuine player- right-wing. Dortmund though are rumoured to put a £100m price tag on him and won't bow down despite the financial difficulties brought in by the Coronavirus Pandemic.
When asked about Sancho and other potential transfer dealings, Ole said," Ha ha. I'm good at math, but I can't answer that question Jan Aage. There are many good footballers on many teams. I think it will be a calm transfer window or a slightly different kind of window. I think a lot of clubs will have to be careful not to spend too much money. You might still not know how much you've lost financially this pandemic and what's gone on lately.
" We're quite relaxed. I am very happy with the squad I have. I think it looks better and better. And then there is something in front of us screaming that it's sensible- both from a sporting and financial perspective. So I know we're going to try but you can't make any promises.
" I don't know what messages Jurgen [ Klopp] has been given [ from the Liverpool owners] but we've had a good dialogue the entire time and we've had a plan for it since I signed in March [ last year]. And then the three months of lockdown and for how long we'll have to play in front of empty stands, if we'll play in the Champions League next season, there are many things like that, which will be factors and decisive in terms of what we can do when the season is over.'
Indeed, this pandemic has brought financial difficulties and it will be difficult for clubs to complete high profile transfers with hefty fees. But yes, United still need to make some signings in various positions to start fighting for major honours. Getting Jadon Sancho can be a big part in getting closer to fighting for titles and United should do everything they can to bring in him and other potential desired targets.
