#3 Solskjaer has his eyes set on £50m Bournemouth midfielder

David Brooks is a wanted man this summer

Manchester United are currently short on midfielders, with Ander Herrera already gone and Pogba also with a foot out of the club. The present crop are simply not good enough and as such, it is only natural that the Red Devils will be linked to midfielders continuously. But here's a fresh rumour which will certainly delight United fans.

According to the Metro, Solskjaer has set his sights on David Brooks of Bournemouth and is eager to bring the Welshman to United. Brooks only joined Bournemouth last season, but has been pretty impressive, scoring 7 goals and picking up 5 assists. He can carry out a lot of responsibilities and is a tireless worker on the pitch, just the kind of player Solskjaer likes.

However, Bournemouth reportedly value him at £50m, so pricing him away won't be easy. But Brooks is a United fan, so his sentiments could be of immense value if United do decide to go for the player.
