Man Utd willing to bankroll mega striker signing deal - if Ole wants it

Manchester United are prepared to back manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer if he wants to make a big name striker signing this summer.

The Mirror says Erling Haaland and Harry Kane are United's top targets if they decide to replace Anthony Martial in the summer.

The French striker is fighting for his future as an unproductive season comes to an end.

With just seven goals in all competitions, he has struggled to keep his place in the team after Edinson Cavani's arrival on the scene.

And a potentially huge deal being considered if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to make a change.

Borussia Dortmund star Haaland and Tottenham's Kane are named as being on the Red Devils' radar.

A fee of around £150million has been touted for the Norwegian, who became the fastest-ever player to hit 20 Champions League goals in the week.

That record was taken off Kane and the Spurs star notched a brace of his own against Dinamo Zagreb last night.
