Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to be sacked by Manchester United and this could have an impact on the transfer strategies of many Serie A clubs.
Solskjaer’s time at Old Trafford is over after the Red Devils’ 4-1 defeat against Watford on Saturday.
The Premier League giants will soon announce the coach’s sacking and Zinedine Zidane is believed to be the leading candidate to replace the former striker in Manchester United’s dug-out.
Solskjaer’s sacking will have consequences also in Serie A, for regarding transfers.
The likes of Donny van de Beek and Diogo Dalot have been struggling with playing time under the Norwegian coach and have been linked with a move to Serie A in January.
Dalot agrees Roma move as Giallorossi open talks with Man United
Inter and Juventus are interested in the Dutch midfielder while Roma have reportedly opened talks over an initial loan move for the Portuguese defender who returned to Old Trafford in the summer after a one-year loan at Milan.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Dalot has already given his green light to reunite with José Mourinho at the Stadio Olimpico, but what if he gets more regular playing time under a new coach?
The same goes for Van De Beek, who scored the last goal of the Solskjaer’s era at Manchester United.
Jesse Lingard has also been linked with a move to Serie A, with Milan interested.
However, according to ESPN, the Englishman may want to leave in January to play more consistently, while Milan would sign him as a free agent at the end of the season.
Lingard’s contract runs out in the summer and the same is true of Paul Pogba. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Frenchman is open to returning to Juventus, but Pogba could have a reason to remain at Old Trafford if Zidane walks in.
This is going to be a very interesting episode, right now their is a serious scarcity of good coaches available that can join the club, their is virtually not a single English coach available, this is the price the Epl has to pay, and honestly I do not understand why and how high calibre English or British coaches are not produced, everything has to be imported.
The management have to be creative and patient both in getting a coach, and buying players, it’s honestly going to be a hard period for Man United..
Looks like another Ronaldo victim.
Bring Back Moyes :v
Why would you take Lingard – even for free?
@Usman – the PL has never been won by an English manager. An English manager has never won the Champions League or the Europa League. The PL has all the money which is why it is able to employ the best European managers.
