Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claims Manchester United can exploit the transfer market after the coronavirus outbreak.

The Norwegian has been finalising his summer plans with the club’s transfer committee, with Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish and James Maddison and Jude Bellingham his leading targets.

And despite football’s finances being hit by the Covid-19 pandemic - which has seen the Premier League suspended indefinitely – Solskjaer insists United have the money to take advantage when the game resumes.

"Football is going to get back to normality at one point, and it's very important we're ready when that happens,” he told Sky Sports.

"We want to be the best at everything, and of course now is a chance to spend more time, you discuss players, discuss plans, we've evaluated what we need, of course with the coaching staff we've looked at games, evaluated games, discussing on video calls like this.

"Then, the market, who knows how the market is going to react to this? Who knows which clubs need to sell players? There might be just a situation there where you can exploit, and I know that we at Man United we are one of the biggest, and the biggest, financially well-off.

"I'm sure we are capable, when we get back to normality, that we can do the business that we want to."

Borussia Dortmund want around £120m for Sancho.

The German giants have confirmed they won’t stand in the way of a move for England winger – but are adamant the coronavirus will not see them lower their valuation.

With Chelsea and Liverpool also admirers, Dortmund are hoping to create a bidding war for Sancho, but the expectation is that clubs around Europe will have to limit their spending as a result of football being put on hold.

That will only strengthen the belief within Old Trafford that they will win the race for Sancho.

United also believe they can land Grealish for around £60m, which makes the Aston Villa captain a cheaper option to Maddison, who is expected to cost as much as £80m.

Ed Woodward and the Glazers had already promised Solskjaer he would be given the funds to complete his Old Trafford revolution before the global pandemic brought the game to a standstill.

Midfield, right wing and centre forward have been identified as the priority areas to strengthen, with United prepared to reignite their pursuit of Erling Braut Haaland if Dortmund decide to sell this summer.

Moussa Dembele and Timo Werner are also under consideration.

Donny van de Beek is another midfield target.

Solskjaer could also move for a centre back, with Matthijs de Ligt and Kalidou Koulibaly long-term targets.
