Solskjaer admits Man Utd next season plans undecided

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits next season's plans are up in the air.

United are pushing for Champions League qualification, a place in the FA Cup final and are also through to the latter stages of the Europa League in a season that has been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.

"There's quite a lot of planning going on," he said. "When do we start the league that is obviously determined by how far we go in Europe, you can't really decide on the training programme.

"There are so many small decisions, and transfers are out of our hands as well. If the team is going well, what do we need? What don't we need?

"That's the way we're working and you've got to plan for different scenarios – uncertainty of dates, how much holiday, what will next season look like? It's a little bit up in the air.

"I don't think it's like dramatic decisions. I don't think the club would panic or go crazy with plans that we've already talked about for years to come.

"You do have to have a long-term plan but short-term some decisions will be easier to make if you get in the Champions League."
