Solskjaer 'still hoping to bring Sancho, Haaland to United'

Borussia Dortmund pair Jadon Sancho and Erling Braut Haaland remain leading transfer targets for Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, according to a report.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly still determined to bring Borussia Dortmund pair Jadon Sancho and Erling Braut Haaland to Old Trafford.

The Red Devils were strongly linked with Haaland ahead of the January transfer window, but the Norway international ultimately joined Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg.

The 20-year-old has scored 21 times in 23 appearances for BVB since his arrival and can allegedly leave Signal Iduna Park for €75m (£68m) in the summer of 2022.

According to ESPN, Solskjaer still views Haaland as a leading transfer target, while the same can be said for Sancho despite United missing out on a summer deal for the England international.

The former Manchester City youngster was the club's leading target over the recent transfer window, but Dortmund refused to drop their £108m asking price.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich could allegedly both join the race for Sancho next summer, though, while Real Madrid are thought to view Haaland as a long-term Karim Benzema replacement.

United secured deals for Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles and Facundo Pellistri on deadline day, while Amad Diallo will officially join the club from Atalanta BC in January.
