'We wanted Jude Bellingham... He sensibly chose Dortmund': Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals £484m list of FIVE superstars he tried to buy at Man United - including key man he was told he didn't have budget for

OIe Gunnar Solskjaer has shared the names of the five superstars he looked into buying whilst at the helm of Manchester United in a new interview with The Athletic.

The United legend was originally named as an interim choice following the bitter dismal of Jose Mourinho in 2018, but after a string of impressive form, was appointed formally to the role of head coach four months later.

During his tenure - which ran out after an igniminious 4-1 to Watford in 2021 - the former Molde coach oversaw a number of arrivals at Old Trafford with some, such as Bruno Fernandes, making a lasting impact on the squad.
