Ex-Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could raid his former club in the summer transfer window.
A summer overhaul is expected at Manchester United with Ineos planning to raise £100m+ through sales in the upcoming window.
Ruben Amorim has warned players will have to leave after an extremely disappointing Premier League campaign that has seen United lose a record-breaking 18 matches.
Christian Eriksen is set to leave, while the likes of Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans also appear to be on their way out this summer.
Ineos will be waiting for offers to arrive for other players, and it seems Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is at the front of the queue.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Besiktas bid for Man United star
Since making his move to Turkey, Solskjaer has impressed at Besiktas and has led them to fourth place in the league.
He is already planning for next season, and it seems he wants to bring over a Manchester United player to his side.
According to Turkish outlet Posta, Besiktas have submitted a bid for United’s goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

Besiktas have decided to part ways with Ersin Destanoglu and have made Bayindir a priority target for the summer.
The report claims that Besiktas have made a 3 million Euros bid (£2.5 million), but United are holding out for 6 million Euros (£5 million).
There is also an option for Besiktas to loan Bayindir next season with a purchase option attached to the deal.
Ineos could make a profit on Altay Bayindir
United signed Bayindir for £4.3 million after triggering his release clause at Fenerbahce, but his spell at Old Trafford has been underwhelming.
After Andre Onana was temporarily dropped, Bayindir disappointed on his debut in the Premier League and an exit in the summer now seems likely.
Bayindir is expected to leave and the report above shows that Ineos are holding out to make a profit on the Turkish shot-stopper.

If Besiktas agree to United’s asking price, Ineos should make a slight profit on the £4.3 million deal for Bayindir.
Given that United are short of cash and struggling with the Profit and Sustainability Rules, even a small profit will help United’s summer plans and potentially help fund a deal for a replacement goalkeeper.
