Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been advised to make three signings by Paul Merson.
Merson said, “I don’t think Solskjaer is going to get four or five years to get this right. United just don’t have that kind of patience any more, even for one of their own.
“If they’re not in the Champions League next season they won’t be able to attract any really big, world-class names either.
“But if they invest in younger talent like Rice, Sancho and Hudson-Odoi they would be getting players who could make an impact straight away but also get better.
“Imagine what those three would be like in four or five years? Rice could be running the England midfield by then, Hudson-Odoi and Sancho could be two of the best wingers in Europe.
“Those are three of England’s brightest talents. Give it time and suddenly we could be talking about United dominating Europe again. They are that good.
“Sancho has had the balls to leave a big club and go and play in a foreign country to prove he is good enough, and he’s now reaping the rewards.
“He’s involved in a title race and has got into the England team, and he looks like he has bags of confidence. I’m very impressed with him.
“As a Chelsea fan I wouldn’t like to see Hudson-Odoi leave but from United’s point of view what a signing he would be.
“He looks like he has big future and he took his England debut in his stride. That’s a very good sign if you ask me.
“Put those two either side of Rashford and that front three would be feared around Europe. I think it ticks all the boxes.”
