Man Utd’s summer to define Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign with proven winners wanted

Premier League.As Sir Alex Ferguson once famously said, "football eh, bloody hell".I'd imagine Fergie's language was more colourful and less flippant on the sombre flight home from Gdansk with United, after seeing the club he turned into winners travel back as losers.But if he leant his ear to Solskjaer, he would have wanted to listen to the current United boss insisting he wants to go on and sign the sort of player who can turn the team into champions again.Marcus Rashford's emotional words minutes after the final whistle in Gdansk were heartfelt and heartbreaking in equal measure."People say a lot about Manchester United going downhill, blah, blah, blah," he said, "but for me, the club, desire, hunger, talent, ability, the squad, we have
