Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is convinced they'll push hard to sign Sporting CP captain Bruno Fernandes.
After defeat to Burnley, Scholes believes the United board will now need to splash the cash to land the player as his former club look to turn around their ailing season.
"Too often this season Manchester United have had two good results and then had two or three bad results," he said.
"That performance tonight might do him [Solskjaer] a favour in the transfer market. It might spur the club on to spend that few extra million on the players they're looking at like Bruno Fernandes.
"It might get done tomorrow because of this. He needs more bodies in the building. He's got some big injuries so he needs help.
"The club need to help him now. I fear for the next few weeks because the injured players aren't coming back for a while. He's stuck with these players for now unless they sign anyone."
