Man United unlikely to make January signings – Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he does not expect Manchester United to sign anyone in the January transfer window , Sky Sports reports .


United’ s caretaker manager , who upon his arrival said he would have an input on transfers, revealed on Friday that he will meet with the club’ s executive vice- chairman Ed Woodward this month to discuss the market .

However , when asked if he anticipates any new additions in January , he said : “ I don ’ t expect anyone to come in .

“ Obviously if the club have targeted and identified a few and I think they might fit here then I ’ ll give my thumbs up . But it’ s not just my decision . I ’ m happy with the squad I ’ ve got . ”

Solskjaer has made the perfect start to his managerial career at Old Trafford – beating Cardiff, Huddersfield , Bournemouth and Newcastle – but United’ s caretaker boss is not getting ahead of himself .

He added , “ When you win games of football you ’ re happy . There ’ ll be tougher games coming up , we know that . I thought Newcastle was a great example of that … we didn ’ t just get that first goal ( early) so we could sit back and counter .

“ We had to work hard for it, we had to defend and at half - time you think, we ’ ll learn about the players in games like this because we ’ re expected to win . But it doesn ’ t always happen like you expect . I thought the response was fantastic in the second half . ”
