Manchester United need two or three new signings this summer to close the gap on Manchester City, says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
United are guaranteed to finish in runners-up place behind Pep Guardiola’s side, but are 12 points behind their neighbours in the Premier League table going into the final game of the season.
Solskjaer insists he needs to strengthen his squad to have a chance of competing, warning that improvement won’t happen by itself.

‘We’re planning as we normally do,’ he said. ‘It’s not like the end of the season and “let’s see what we do”, that’s an ongoing process – players who might stay, players who might be leaving, and I hope we’re going to strengthen with two or three players.
‘We definitely need to challenge higher up in the table. We’re still too far behind to think that will come by itself.
‘We’re not where we aim to be. We’ve got ambitions to move one place further up, but it’s been steady improvement.
‘We’ve had a few players on loan that might come back in, and there is interest in a few others going out. But you want to come out of the transfer window strengthened, and it might be we allow some players to go out and come back stronger from it. It’s difficult to say, I can’t see too many outgoings.’

Juan Mata’s future remains unresolved and Solskjaer admitted that a final decision is unlikely to be made until after the season finishes.
‘We’re talking to Juan,’ he added. ‘We’ve had good discussions and that dialogue will continue, let’s see what he wants to do at the end of the season.
‘He’s such a top professional, it’s hard not to play him. There have been circumstances and personal issues that made him less available. That decision will be made after the season is finished.’
