Meanwhile, Solskjaer recently acknowledged that the club would seek to exploit clubs when the transfer window starts this summer as COVID-19 continues to disrupt sporting activities across the world.
“Football is going to get back to normality, and United have to be ready,” Solskjaer said on Sky Sports.
“Indeed, we discuss players, we examine plans, and we evaluate what we need.
“There might be a situation that Man United can exploit because we are the biggest club, and we are well off.
“I’m sure we are capable of doing the business that we want too.
Solskjaer is believed to have the backing of United executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, and this will be reflected in the transfer market.
However, the club want to reduce their wage bill and move on several players to make way for any potential new arrivals.
United will look for buyers for Alexis Sanchez, who is currently on loan at Inter Milan.
Another player out on loan is Marcos Rojo, who has lost his place at Old Trafford, with Solskjaer preferring Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly ahead of him.
