The Norwegian has vastly improved the squad since he took over in December 2018, with all of his transfer decisions having proven successful.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of acquisitions, each of Solskjaer\u2019s moves have worked wonders in his team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d8931174\/Harry-Maguire?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Maguire<\/a> has not only provided consistency in the centre of United\u2019s defence, but has also become captain of the side with his incredible mentality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9e525177\/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a> has also been a marvelous addition, greatly improving the team\u2019s defensive abilities. He has filled a position perfectly which has not had a world-class occupant since <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1b013e33\/Gary-Neville?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gary Neville<\/a> left in 2011.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c931d9f9\/Daniel-James?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daniel James<\/a> has become a fantastic bargain, having signed from <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/swansea-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Swansea City<\/a> for just \u00a315 million. He has the most assists in the United side this season with sixth his name, and has been a great outlet down the wing.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, both <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=507c7bdf,9227838e&amp;search=Bruno+Fernandes&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/03622183\/Odion-Ighalo?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Odion Ighalo<\/a> joined the club, and each has been successful.<\/p>\n<p>Fernandes has shown to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/03\/17\/bruno-fernandes-impact-at-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">profound impact on the team as a whole<\/a>, as well as providing his individual quality. The Red Devils have not lost a match since his debut.<\/p>\n<p>Ighalo has also been a great signing. Coming in on loan as a seemingly rushed, last-minute January move, he has proven his doubters wrong. The Nigerian already has four goals in his new outfit and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-8144257\/Man-United-sign-Odion-Ighalo-15m-summer-strikers-loan-deal-set-expire-May.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">may have earned himself<\/a> a permanent move to the North of England.<\/p>\n<p>And, on the front of sales, Solskjaer has done equally well, offloading deadwood such as <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/be927d03\/Ashley-Young?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ashley Young<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/08aa17d0\/Antonio-Valencia?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Antonio Valencia<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/96e0490d\/Matteo-Darmian?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matteo Darmian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Dalot Struggling for Game Time<\/h3>\n<p>Although the signing of Wan-Bissaka has turned out well, it has negatively impacted Dalot. Between injuries and the added competition, the Portuguese has not started in the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Premier League<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n<p>The interest from Barcelona and PSG certainly deserves consideration from the youngster who has huge potential. While he may become United\u2019s first choice at right-back one day, or <a href=\"https:\/\/utdreport.co.uk\/2020\/02\/14\/could-diogo-dalot-find-a-starting-position-as-a-right-winger\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">switch to being a winger<\/a>, Dalot does not have the current attraction of United appearances.
