Ranking the 5 best signings made by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United

#3 Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Tough-tackling fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka was bought from Crystal Palace for a fee nearing £50 million pounds with add-ons. The 24-year-old hit the ground running, making the right-back spot his own and proving to be a smart signing.

While many criticize his lack of attacking ability as a modern-day fullback, Wan-Bissaka's defensive toughness all but makes up for any shortcomings. He has already put up strong performances against top tier opponents such as Manchester City and Liverpool.

#2 Harry Maguire

The fee paid for Harry Maguire seems to take precedence in judging the English centre-back's contribution. An excessive £80 million fee, enough to make him the world's most expensive defender, would weigh heavily on any player.

Maguire has been a vital contributor to the relative defensive solidarity Manchester United have enjoyed over the last two seasons. Signed for his aerial ability as well as his composure on the ball, Maguire has added a new dimension of play to the once fragile and timid United back line.

The statistics back him up, with Manchester United conceding just 36 and 44 league goals in each of Maguire's two seasons at the club.

While Maguire's calmness and authority has elevated him to the role of club captain in a short spell, critics take aim at his inconsistency and lack of pace.

Having said that, Maguire's Euro 2020 performances were the bedrock of the England defense and suggest he is only getting better. With the signing of Varane, Manchester United fans can look forward to a solid partnership.

#1 Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United v Leeds United - Premier League

Bruno Fernandes is the defining transfer of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign as Manchester United boss. The Portuguese playmaker arrived from Sporting Lisbon for a £49.5m fee in January 2020. He then set the Premier League on fire, scoring 40 goals and registering 25 assists in just one and a half seasons at Manchester United.

His attacking mentality and ability to constantly drive play forward make him the quintessential Manchester United player. In 2020-21, he broke Frank Lampard's Premier League record of most goals scored by a midfielder for an English club with 28 across all competitions, a truly remarkable achievement.

In addition to his strengths on the pitch, Fernades has emerged as a dressing room leader and motivator. His drive and verve has pushed Manchester United from many a losing position to come back and win games. He is sure to go down as a Manchester United legend with time, and remains Ole's most trusted lieutenant.
