Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to add more quality to his squad in the summer having fallen short in several competitions this term.

One of the names mentioned today is Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, as per The Star. The Spain international has emerged as a target with the Old Trafford hierarchy preparing a hefty wage package worth a reported £150,000 per week.

Being back in the Champions League should give United an extra drive this coming season. Not that they need any after watching Liverpool be crowned Premier League champions.
