Manchester United are set for a huge summer transfer window of spending. The Old Trafford outfit are definitely trending upwards under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, though further signings are needed to take us to that next level.

Well, it’s seemingly bad news. According to German media outlet Sport Bild, translated by TEAMTalk, United have been dealt a transfer blow as the young midfielder has chosen Borussia Dortmund, over the Reds, as his next club…
