Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer jokes he has stopped buying petrol cars to keep up with Abu Dhabi-backed Manchester City in transfer market as the Norwegian insists the Red Devils are 'a well-run club'

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has jokingly revealed his part in trying to stop rivals Manchester City getting stronger in the transfer market - no longer purchasing vehicles run by petrol.

Asked about Jurgen Klopp's comments that some clubs seem to have 'unlimited' buying power, Solskjaer put United's ability to sign the likes of £73million winger Jadon Sancho down to their commercial size - but was cryptic about his rivals like City, who are backed by oil money from Abu Dhabi.

'We are a well-run club. We do have a lot of fans out there and good sponsorship deals,' he said.
