Manchester United have already proven how much they want to get back to the top. Their transferactivity during the summer explainsthose aspirations by itself: they went after Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane, and brought back Cristiano Ronaldo.

None of those signings would have been made if it wasn’t for their high ambitions. It’s been a long time since they last tasted Premier League glory and they have also struggled to succeed in Europe.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, additionally, has to think about the long term and that implies taking a look at the contract situation of each player. With some big names heading to their final years under contract, United have to consider how far they’re willing to go to renew them.
