Manchester United 'set summer transfer budget'

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will reportedly have in excess of £200m to spend on new signings in this summer's transfer window.

Solskjaer has overseen a change in mood and indeed results at Old Trafford since replacing Jose Mourinho in December, but there is a general acceptance that the Red Devils need to spend heavily this summer in order to compete for the Premier League title next season.

The likes of Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho, Crystal Palace's Aaron Wan-Bissaka and West Ham United's Declan Rice continue to be linked with moves to United.

According to the London Evening Standard, United 'are expected to spend well in excess of £200m' as they attempt to become challengers for the major trophies once again.

The same report has claimed that Solskjaer wants to make 'radical changes' to his squad ahead of the 2019-2020 campaign.

United will welcome Barcelona to Old Trafford on Wednesday night for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
