Transfer: Solskjaer’s first signing having Manchester United medicals today

 

Swansea City winger, Daniel James, is having a medical with Manchester United today, according to Sky Sports.

James is set to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first signing of the summer, as he seeks to rebuild his squad.

It is believed the player would cost United around £15million.

James currently has a year left on his contract with the Championship side.

The Wales international has been included in manager, Ryan Giggs’ squad for their Portugal training camp, ahead of next month’s Euro 2020 qualifying round matches against Croatia and Hungary respectively.

The 21-year-old had scored his debut international goal in their 1-0 victory over Slovakia in March.

EPL: What I discovered during my time in charge of Man Utd - Solskjaer reveals

 

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has admitted that his time in charge of the club, has proven to him that he hates losing.

The Norwegian replaced Jose Mourinho as United manager in December and shone as caretaker boss, only to struggle as permanent boss.

And a miserable Premier League season came to an end on Sunday, as relegated Cardiff won 2-0 at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer is positive he can kick on next season, after an underwhelming campaign.

“I’ve learned that I don’t like losing. I like winning. We started off fantastically.

“The boys were unbelievable when I came in. We were positive. We won games. The whole group gelled together and I enjoyed winning but I know that football is hard.

“You can’t just expect everything to go that way and the reality hit us. We are in a league with loads of very good teams and, to be at our top (level), we need to be 100 per cent focused.

“We came into some games really, really focused with the full team and I thought that was fantastic.

“Then you learn a lot when you go through tough times and think about ‘who can we build this team around?’ and who we think is going to take the next step because we need to go to the next level,” Solskjaer told MUTV.

EPL: I will sell half of Manchester United team - Solskjaer threatens

 

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, was so furious with his players after the Cardiff defeat, that he threatened to sell half the squad, the UK Sun reports.

United were left humiliated after a 2-0 defeat by Neil Warnock’s side at Old Trafford, in their final Premier League fixture of the season.

Solskjaer also cancelled the club’s end of season debrief on Monday, after calling his players a “disgrace”.

 

The 46-year-old has been left angry, at the attitude of some of his players after a terrible end to the season.

United finished the season in 6th place in the Premier League to qualify for the Europa League.

Plans for next season may also need to be altered, should Watford find a way to beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
