Man United are one of the financial giants in world football and the current economic crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic could mean that the ball is in their court. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had earlier suggested that Man United could look to "exploit" the current scenario and try and get their targets for a cut price. Premier League legend Alan Shearer believes Man United sail in a different boat than other clubs and could look at their transfer targets without worrying about survival. The Blackburn Rovers legend added that Man United could need three to four big signings to start competing at the highest level. Shearer continued by saying the rumours linking the Red Devils to the signings of Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish and Harry Kane are not surprising and they are the sort of players who can take Man United to the top.
