Ole Gunnar Solskjaer swaps transfer market for supermarket as he takes break from hunt for Sancho and new centre back

MANCHESTER UNITED boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not be picking up a trophy this week, but has made sure to grab some household essentials.

The Red Devils crashed out of the Europa League at the weekend after a narrow 2-1 semi-final defeat to Sevilla in Cologne.

Fans will now be hoping that their boss can pick them out some nice summer transfers

But the Norwegian has made sure that the Solskjaer kitchen will still be stocked with all the necessities.

United fans will be hoping that his summer shopping doesn’t stop there, however, with plenty of targets reportedly on the club’s radar.

No1 on their list all year has been Jadon Sancho, although Borussia Dortmund are still playing hardball over their prized asset.

United missed the Bundesliga side’s August 10 deadline to agree a deal, although still hope to find a way to make the transfer happen.

Michael Zorc, Sebastian Kehl and Hans-Joachim Watzke of the Dortmund hierarchy, however, have all publicly ruled out the potential move.

One alternative appeared to be forming in the shape of Ousmane Dembele, although Barcelona chiefs have now rubbished that deal’s prospects too.

United are also believed to be chasing a centre-back, with a number of names having been mentioned.

Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly is a dream target, while West Ham’s Issa Diop is on their radar.

Man United long for Jadon Sancho

They appear to have missed out on Hellas Verona’s Marash Kumbulla, however, with the young defender seemingly Inter Milan-bound.

Solskjaer will also be hoping to keep his existing house in order, with Dean Henderson’s future a point of contention.

Chelsea have been sniffing around the impressive young goalkeeper, although SunSport last night revealed that he will be offered £100,000-a-week by United to stay put.
