Mike Phelan Says Manchester United Are Still Looking to Sign Superstars

Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan has said the Red Devils are still looking to bring the game's superstars to Old Trafford.

Phelan told James Robson at the Evening Standard that the club want to sign the world's best players despite manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's willingness to trust in youth.

"I think there has got to be a blend," he said. "I think Manchester United still do want superstars, but I think they still want to see them coming through and progressing and being part of something special."

Phelan returned to the club in December 2018 for a second spell as assistant coach.
