Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly wants to sign a right-sided forward, a centre-forward and a centre-back this summer.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly keen to sign a right-sided forward, a centre-forward and a centre-back during this summer's transfer window.

The Red Devils are currently fifth in the Premier League table, level on points with fourth-placed Leicester City, as they bid to return to the Champions League for the 2020-21 campaign.

According to The Telegraph, Solskjaer's priority in the upcoming market is to sign a new right-sided attacker, with Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho the Norwegian's leading target.

However, the report claims that the Red Devils manager would also like to sign a striker and a centre-back if the funds are available ahead of next season.

United broke the transfer record for a central defender when they signed Harry Maguire from Leicester City last summer, while they recently extended Odion Ighalo's loan spell at the club until at least January 2021.

Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones are all currently being linked with a move away from Old Trafford, though, seemingly strengthening the club's need for a new centre-back.
