Two Names Top Solskjaer’s January Transfer Wish List

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward that the club would need as many as six players over the next two transfer windows to close the gap on both Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

Solskjaer and his Manchester United players were thought a bitter lesson when they faced Manchester City in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup earlier this week.

Manchester United were beaten 3-1 at home in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semifinal clash with neighbors Manchester City and they face an uphill task if they are to secure a place in the final of the competition.
