# Manchester United: Fans fume over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer stance

**According to quotes [from the Daily Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/12/31/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-confident-securing-another-striker-will/), Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has seemingly put to bed any rumours of him launching a tirade of bids in the transfer window – hinting that he doesn’t want to upset the balance of the squad.**

The Norwegian gaffer has been [pressured](https://metro.co.uk/2019/12/04/gary-neville-tells-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-manchester-united-sign-minimum-two-players-january-11269374/) by a section of supporters and the media to use the January transfer window as an opportunity to strengthen for their upcoming quest to qualify for a coveted Champions League spot, but judging by [these soundbites](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/12/31/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-confident-securing-another-striker-will/) from the Telegraph, it appears more and more unlikely they’ll get their wish.

Midfield is an area United have [particularly](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/respected-source-names-attacking-midfielder-man-utd-are-chasing) been linked to strengthening in January, with the likes of Jack Grealish, James Maddison and Bruno Fernandes [being rumoured](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/manchester-united/manchester-united-fans-dismiss-potential-jack-grealish-swoop-amid-better-options/) for an Old Trafford move.

The Red Devils are also without Scott McTominay for [eight weeks](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-blow-ole-gunner-21188594) as he recovers from ligament damage, perhaps further motivating supporters to be anxious over their club’s activity this month.

Here’s how United fans blasted Solskjaer on social media for his stance.

> It’s a shame as he’s obviously not been given the funds AGAIN!! but won’t take on the board as he knows he will be out of his dream job\
> If ever we needed proof the glazers don’t care it’s now unfortunately

> Also he’s now justifying Greenwood as a replacement for Lukaku, so that money has just gone straight into their back pocket. It’s a joke

> Guys a clown. We don’t care about “chemistry” we care about results. Liverpool are literally out of sight, we can’t even see them but it’s ok because everyone feels ok
