Manchester United have joined the race to sign Sheffield United starlet Kyron Gordon, according to reports.

According to the Mail on Sunday, Manchester United have now added their name to the teenager’s list of suitors.

However, Solskjaer has brought down the average age of United’s squad during his time at the helm, and he believes Gordon is one for the future.

United will face stiff competition for his signature, particularly as Liverpool have been impressed by Gordon’s progress over the last 12 months.

“It's definitely affecting everyone in football, the pandemic. Of course the lack of income, the finances that have affected everyone and it might affect us all well. We have to be realistic, we have to be responsible in the way we do our business both on an off the pitch,” Solskjaer said of United’s recruitment plans last month.

"There's improvement on the training ground, stadium. We just have to look at the whole picture. Where we can spend the money? And how is there? It's just the real world now. It has changed."
