Transfer: Solskjaer's budget to buy players this summer revealed

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been given just £100million to strengthen his Manchester United squad this summer, ESPN reports.

The Norwegian will only be able to spend more if he raises money from player sales.

Further investment in the squad hinges on the futures of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and David De Gea, who have all been linked with moves away from Old Trafford this summer.

But having seen Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia leave as free agents at the end of last season, five months after the £10.5m sale of Marouane Fellaini to Shandong Luneng, Solskjaer has been told that his initial rebuilding plans must be financed by the £100m transfer fund.

Solskjaer was confirmed as full-time manager in March, after initially replacing the sacked Jose Mourinho on a caretaker basis last December.

He has so far added just one signing in Swansea City winger, Daniel James, to his squad since the end of last season.
