Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly targeting Englands top young prospects this summer as he looks to rebuild Manchester Uniteds spine with home-grown stars of the future.
The Red Devils are expected to announce Solskjaer as their manager on a full-time basis in the coming days and the Norwegian is set to be handed a £250million warchest to spend on new recruits.
United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has been seduced by Solskjaers barnstorming reign as interim boss and is hopeful he can transform the club into a genuine Premier League title contender.
According to The Sun, Solskjaer is pushing Woodward to work on deals for England wonderkids Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Declan Rice and Jadon Sancho ahead of the 2019/20 campaign.

Solskjaer has been inspired by Englands revolution under Gareth Southgate and, of course, recognises the importance of youth after working with Sir Alex Ferguson for 11 years as a player at Old Trafford.

Sancho has huge potential, he can be anything he wants to be.
