It is the fourth season in a row that United has not won a trophy.

Despite the result in Poland, Solskjaer's campaign has been one of progression - but who will the manager and key figures in charge of transfers at Old Trafford turn their attention to ahead of next season?

Pau Torres of Villarreal and long-term target Jadon Sancho are two names that have been mentioned.

However, neither of those two players nor any other potential signings will be cheap, even in a transfer market that will be heavily influenced by the financial implications of the Covid-19 pandemic.

SkyBet and other bookmakers are continuing to price in the likelihood of these and other such transfers. Speculation about Harry Kane's future has also been rife in recent weeks, but SkyBet has already shut down that betting market in light of his interview with Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville - and the implications for money being laid down.
