Even so, Solskjaer has hopes of being able to win a trophy next season. Because, he has bought new players who are expected to help him win the title and compete with his rivals in the Premier League.
“This season, I feel we and Chelsea have gone through the transfer market well and we are optimistic that we are in a good position as potential challengers (Manchester City and Liverpool),” he continued.
This season, Man United have brought in exciting new players. Those players are Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.
With the new ammunition obtained, Man United certainly hopes to show a sweet gait since the beginning of the season. In the 2021-2022 Premier League opener, Man United itself will host Leeds United at Old Trafford on Saturday 14 August 2021.
Manchester United coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, spoke further about when to start his two new players, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane. Apparently, Solskjaer chose not to be too hasty in playing these two players.
This summer, Man United did manage to bring in a number of its coveted players. Big names like Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane have even been recruited successfully.
This success was greeted with joy by Solskjaer. But reportedly, he will not be in too much of a hurry to play both in the Premier League opener on August 14, 2021.
Solskjaer hinted not to play the two new players as a starter when Man United against Leed United in the inaugural game of the 2021-2022 Premier League. The reason is that Sancho, who has just been inaugurated, is still enjoying his holiday after playing for the England National Team at the 2020 European Cup.
Meanwhile, Varane has not been unveiled as a new Man United player. Although the agreement has been made, the French player has not yet undergone a medical test at the Red Devils – the nickname of Manchester United.
Solskjaer certainly doesn’t want to take risks for the two players because they haven’t joined the team yet. They are also known to have not had the opportunity to train together. However, Solskjaer opened up opportunities for Sancho and Varane to make their debuts off the bench.
