This week's big event is the Europa League final. However, after that, the focus will shift to a summer of transfers.
United have an incentive to get it right in Gdansk, win or lose because the team clearly needs strengthening to reach the next level in the Premier League.
Although progress has been made this season, finishing 12 points behind City is still insufficient.
So transfer rumors are already circulating, and one in The Telegraph makes a couple of bold claims.
75 million pounds for Sancho?
According to The Telegraph, Borussia Dortmund are expected to sanction a sale of Jadon Sancho for around £75 million.
This is a significant decrease from the £108 million Dortmund demanded last summer.
It's a deal that's simply too good for United to pass up. For the past two years, the club has toyed with the idea of signing Sancho, and now is the time to make a firm commitment.
According to the report, United players privately lobbied Solskjaer to look into signing Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish.
Despite this, according to the report, Sancho is United's first choice. In our opinion, his £75 million asking price is likely to be less than what Villa would demand for Grealish.
Last farewell
According to the German newspaper BILD, this summer will be Borussia Dortmund's "final goodbye" to Jadon Sancho.
Dortmund's priority is to keep Erling Haaland, and Sancho is seen as an acceptable sale, knowing they won't be able to keep the wantaway winger for another season.
According to BILD, Dortmund has decided on a replacement, Lille winger Jonathan Ikone.
The stage appears to be set for a deal with United. But first and foremost, the Europa League final must be completed.
Following that, regardless of the outcome, it may be critical for United to try to strike a quick deal, especially when a fee of only £75 million is being touted.
Even if United ends up paying around £85 million, if that is a more realistic price, it will still be a fantastic deal.
