Manchester United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will NOT have a say in the club’s recruitment during the January transfer window.
That is the belief of Norwegian football analyst Ben Wells, who has studied Solskjaer’s Molde side over the last three seasons.
Solskjaer, who spent 11 years of his playing career at Old Trafford, was appointed interim boss last week following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
United are eager to add a centre-back to their ranks and it was previously reported that Solskjaer will be given £50million to spend next month.
But Wells, who watches every Eliteserien game as an analyst for FootballRadar, is not convinced the United legend will bestow such weight in recruitment discussions, though.
Speaking about the winter window, Wells told Express Sport: “It wouldn’t surprise me if there were signings, but I can’t imagine they would go via Solskjaer.
“He might have a final say, but a lot of it would go over his head beforehand.
“It’ll be intriguing to see how they do back him.”
