Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Man Utd will have to sell his central defender when he signs Harry Maguire

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that he would have to sell at least one central defender this summer when he signed the signing of the £ 80 million contract with Harry Maguire of Leicester City.

The 26-year-old has been badociated throughout the summer with a move to the Red Devils, with its neighborhood rivals, Manchester City also wishes to procure one of the central defenders of choice in England.

90min understands that Maguire's move to United will occur, although an imminent announcement is unlikely. When he joins the team, he will become the seventh senior central United defender.

Solskjaer already has Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Axel Tuanzebe at his disposal. He told reporters (via the Daily Mail) that seven options would simply be too many.

He said: "Of course, there is a limit of players. Whoever plays will be part of the team and whoever does not want to fight back. There has been a lot of speculation, but I can not really say anything. We will work to find a relationship with those we have. "

Solskjaer later admitted that Tuanzebe would probably not be the one to leave, adding: "He has a good chance to stay here and play. He had a good season last year.

"He really proved that he could play at this level and he came back strong and focused and he played well in the first game here. [against Perth Glory] and he is one of the exciting players that I am looking forward to seeing more. "

The manager has often preferred central defender Jones and Smalling last season, while Lindelof was also part of the group. It therefore seems unlikely that any of them will be sold this summer, despite the links with Barcelona for the latter.

He gave Bailly and Rojo opportunities towards the end of the campaign. Rojo has previously revealed that Solskjaer had already informed that he will be part of the team next season, leaving Bailly among the injured..

He was often ruled out of the World Cup games team at the end of the season and only started eight Premier League matches throughout the season. It seems completely out of order at Old Trafford and, on paper, seems most likely to be sold this summer.
