Jaap Stam said temptingly that "something is going to happen" at Manchester United this summer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plans to reorganize his underachieving team, Stam insisting that the Norwegian says all he needs and that he can make the "tough decisions".
But while he believes that Matthijs de Ligt represents the ideal player that his former team should aim for during this transition period, Man Utd is confident that the Ajax center will be traveling to Barcelona rather than to the United States. at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer plans to hire up to five new recruits before the start of next season, and more are expected to leave the club.
Stam has highlighted the size of the work in the hands of United's manager, but is confident it will be a success.
The former legendary defender from the Netherlands said: "I do not know what he will do, but I think people can expect something to happen in the club.
"Let's hope that for Ole, everyone is doing well and can return to the performance and hope to win trophies.
"He's very good at everything he said, he did a great job here, although the last two games did not work out the way he wanted, but it's normal." when we enter the end of the season.
"You can not do everything to win every game in the league because the competition in the league is very big, but I'm sure he'll do it."
Solskjaer has already warned United fans that it would take a miracle to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool for the title next season.
But he builds for the long haul – targeting some of the best emerging British talent.
Stam added, "I think in all departments, in the front, in the middle and in the back, they can also use extra quality.
"Looking at the players, what they did and what they did, and even if the players still have a contract for three or four seasons, you have to make your choices.
"At the end of the day, it's the most important thing you do well: you achieve the goals you want to achieve and the goals you want to achieve as a club.
"Then you have to make difficult decisions."

Solskjaer wants to strengthen in defense, with United, great admirers of De Ligt.
Despite permanent ties with the 19-year-old Dutch international, the club's hierarchy has long been badociated with the Barca.
It is always clear that Stam thinks it would be perfect for Old Trafford.
"He's an excellent player," he said. "It's only a young person, as everyone knows, but in the way he plays, he is an adult.
"He's calm on the ball, he's aggressive tactically, he sees the match, he reads the match well and he has that driving force for himself, in what you need to achieve and where you want to go.
"I think it's one of the most important things for a player: having goals for oneself, taking steps, moving forward, progressing, going to the highest level.
"That's the type of player that a manager wants to work with."
