Manchester United<\/a> were on track for a fantastic end to the season and a productive transfer market to accelerate their rebuild when the Coronavirus struck. It has left uncertainty over a potential new mentality to completing deals, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> recently confirmed that there will be no rushing into proceedings with a change in the Manchester United transfer policy.<\/p>\n

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Tells Manchester United Transfer Policy for the Summer<\/h2>\n

What He Said<\/h3>\n

Speaking to the United We Stand<\/a> Magazine (via The Express<\/a>), Solskjaer gave a comprehensive guide to how the Red Devils will conduct their transfer activity during these uncertain times.<\/p>\n

\u201dI’d rather have a hole in the squad than an a**hole,” Solskjaer said.\u00a0“Personality is so important. We’re a team in a team environment. You want players to have a bit of ego and edge but they have to be able to adapt.<\/p>\n

“In March 2019, players were physically tired, mentally tired and we had injuries. The players started with negative thinking, whereas now it’s positive thinking.<\/p>\n

“There were other things I didn’t like last year, some personal agendas which couldn’t be sorted out until the summer.<\/p>\n

“There will always be players who want to play more in football, but if a team is to be successful, then players have to be available at different times. I feel in this group we don’t have one bad apple.”<\/p>\n

Showing in Previous Moves<\/h3>\n

This attitude is reflected in Solskjaer\u2019s previous transfers at the club. Last summer, the Norwegian signed Daniel James<\/a>, Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a>, and Harry Maguire<\/a>. A successful January window followed this, with Bruno Fernandes<\/a> and Odion Ighalo<\/a> the two additions<\/p>\n

All of these players have shown to have a positive impact on the United side, in particular Maguire and Fernandes.<\/p>\n

The former of these two became captain of the side in January, only a few months after signing, while the latter has shown to have an incredible influence on so many players<\/a> in Manchester, improving their form and getting some out of complete slumps.<\/p>\n

All of these moves show how meticulous Solskjaer is in the transfer window; he makes sure his signings fit well with the squad. In addition, he has now revealed that there will be no rush to get a deal through come the transfer window.<\/p>\n
