Ole Gunnar Solskjaer "does not want to kill Manchester United", according to Rafael, who has defended the under-fire manager's cautious approach in the transfer market.
United secured their second-highest finish of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era in 2019-20, coming third behind Liverpool and Manchester City to qualify for the Champions League.
Solskjaer managed to lure the likes of Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Bruno Fernandes to Old Trafford during his first full year in charge, and received plenty of praise for bringing an attack-minded philosophy back to the club, despite failing to deliver any tangible success in the form of trophies.
