Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still believes in building the Manchester United team around wantaway midfielder Paul Pogba – and remains confident Alexis Sanchez will finally come good.
As the disappointment of a turbulent 2018-19 season finally begins to subside, attention turns to the future and returning the 20-time league champions back to the top of the English game.
Questions over key players’ happiness have provided an unwanted backdrop to their preparations for the new season.
“We’re still looking at one or two options, yeah,” he added.” But it depends on outgoings as well.
“It might be more because if suddenly two or three will go, then you will have to replace players.”
As for those that would be keen to leave United this summer, Solskjaer, a United fan favourite and treble hero, cannot understand that mindset.
“No, I was there,” he said. “You know, the ones that might want to leave now haven’t been here when it’s been successful.
“It’s the best feeling you can ever have as a footballer, to be at this club when we’re successful, and hopefully they want to be part of that – and I want to be part of that.”
