Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes a top six finish will see his job safe.

The Daily Mail says privately, Solskjaer feels he will have to finish in the top six as a bare minimum this season to keep his job and would need to win a trophy next year.

The club are prepared to give the under-fire manager some time given the rebuilding job needed.

But significantly the new transfer policy, which began last summer with the acquisitions of Harry Maguire, Aaron wan-Bissaka and Daniel James, is now the blueprint for future windows regardless who is in the hot seat.
