Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Talks Summer Transfer Plans, Declines Gareth Bale Comment

Manchester United interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has spoken of the need for the club to recruit "quality players" in the summer but would not be drawn on the possibility of signing Real Madrid's Gareth Bale.

The Press Association's Simon Peach relayed the Norwegian's comments:

Solskjaer: “There’s so many factors you need to think about when you sign players. It’s easy - I don’t know if it’s easy - when you’re in the media or a supporter, you can think short-term. We’ve got to think about the longevity as well, who’s going to fit in personality-wise"

Solskjaer was brought in to replace Jose Mourinho in December until the end of the season, although he is widely expected to become their next permanent manager after winning 14 of his 18 matches in charge.
