Solskjaer targets new signings to counter Pogba, McTomiway injuries

Date:

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted at January signings for the club, saying the Red Devils are “looking at one or two” possible additions.
Solskjaer’s men lost 2-0 against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday leaving them fifth in the Premier League table and sitting five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
United are short of options in central midfield, with Paul Pogba and Scott McTomiway set to be sidelined for several weeks due to ankle and knee injuries respectively.
Solskjaer has said he would like to make signings, but added he will only dip into the market if United can find the right players.
“You can see the squad and sometimes you think, yeah, one or two additions would do nicely because we are building towards something,” he said.
“It just depends on if what we think will be right for us will be available. Of course it’s playing on our decision-making when we’ve got two players out for a bit, Scott for two months and Paul for a month.
“That gives us less options and we have loads of games and important games.
“But it still has to be right and that’s the big point here, if someone is available and something is possible we’ll do it.
“We’re looking at one or two.”
