Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Woodward and I always discussing transfer plans

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he's happy with the club's transfer policy.

During the summer transfer window, the club spent over £130m on defenders Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, as well as winger Daniel James.

Asked if he is forthright enough with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, Solskjaer said: "Of course I am. Ask him if I am. Of course we have got open discussions and of course we're open and honest and we talk.

"We are building towards something and I'm almost getting bored myself talking about this, and the fans will definitely be bored listening to me talk about what we do have as a vision and a plan."

Former United captain Gary Neville has urged Solskjaer to be "selfish" by spending the club's money to buy "two or three experienced players".

But the Norwegian says he could "never do that" and is "happy" with his current squad.

"I have those conversations with Ed all the time and we are looking at how we are going to look in one month's time, five months' time, in the longer period," added Solskjaer.

"He knows my feelings and we know our feelings. I am very happy with these players."
