- Brighton – Manchester United, at 1.30 pm on TV 2 Sport Premium
Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Manchester United are desperate for the first three points of this season. On Saturday Brighton is the opponent at the early start at Falmer Stadium.
The coach spoke as usual with journalists in digital format the day before the game. And to one of the questions – from The Guardian newspaper – he answered.
The window for buying and selling players closes on October 5. Currently, the Dutch Donny van de Beek (23) is the only man in.
During the digital press conference, The Guardian asked the following questions:
– Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City have strengthened the team in this window. They are your closest rivals. I know you got Donny in, but wouldn’t it be frustrating if he was the only one you walked into this window for? If you don’t make the team stronger, then you will stay put, right?
Solskjær replied:
– I think it’s disrespectful to Donny when you say he’s the only one. He is a first-rate player and strengthens our team. We need to focus on ourselves. Different clubs should be allowed to do what they want and feel. We work hard to have a competitive squad. If or when there are updates, you will get them.
Solskjær has gotten used to not talking about other teams’ players. But it seems to be an established truth that Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho is the number one target at Old Trafford this season.
But United will reportedly fail to meet the 1.3 billion kronor requirement for the winger.
Disclosure plan: – All inclusive
Former United player Andy Cole (48) tells PA news agency that Sancho doesn’t solve everything.
– If you buy Sancho for 109 million pounds: will that mean Manchester United will win the league? he asks.
I have super message
Cole continues:
– I may bring them a little closer, but I’m realistic. I know that if they get Sancho, it will improve Manchester United. But will it improve United, such that they defeat the other two teams (Liverpool and Manchester City)? I’m not so sure.
Cole believes United are two or three years away from winning the title. On the price of Sancho, he says:
– Its a lot of money. Madness.
United opened the Premier League with a 1-3 loss at home to Crystal Palace. There is tension over who Solskjær picks in central defense today, after Victor Lindelöf’s horror show against Palace.
