DBasia.news – Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer explained his transfer plans this summer. Solskjaer will move carefully in the transfer market even though his club actually has strong financial capabilities.
At the moment Chelsea have been actively recruiting players such as Judge Ziyech and Timo Werner, while Man United are still calm. Although also associated with Jack Grealish, James Maddison, to Jadon Sancho, Man United did not make any concrete movements.
In a report submitted by Man United CEO, Ed Woodward some time ago, Man United’s annual income was reduced. The situation was not separated from the sluggish achievements and failure to play in the Champions League this season.
Not to mention in the midst of this pandemic there is no income from the sale of tickets, merchandise, and television broadcasting rights. The situation according to Solskjaer also contributed to Man United. No doubt the club will first monitor the financial condition and transfer situation before properly recruiting new players.
“I think the pandemic has impacted everyone hard. “I still think we need to wait and see how things go to find out the real impact of this pandemic, to find out our current financial situation,” said Solskjaer on Goal.
“You see some teams investing, some teams don’t. We have to pay attention to ourselves to see how hard we are affected (the impact of Covid-19).”
“I know the club has announced some numbers beforehand. Not for me to say that we will have X amount because I don’t really know. “
“I really don’t know how hard we were affected. We are a financially strong club, but we may also be more affected than other teams. Let’s see how quickly we can get our fans back to the stadium and of course positioning the league will be important to us this season. “
Solskjaer prefers to focus on trying to give the team a trophy. As Man United is still competing in the FA Cup and Europa League.
“If we can get a trophy, the FA Cup or Europa League. The Europa League will also make us qualify for the Champions League, there is still a lot of uncertainty and these three or four months, every businessman in the world, every player in the world, I think everyone is still unsure what the effect is, “concluded Solskjaer.
