Solskjaer scouting for players with 'right attitude' for Manchester United

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is prioritising signing players with a reputation for working hard as he looks to "set the culture right" at Manchester United this summer.

United look set for upheaval after an underwhelming sixth-place Premier League finish, in which they were a whopping 32 points behind champions Manchester City.

Solskjaer, as has been the case in recent weeks, did not name any individuals on his hit list but identified some of the character traits he would prefer in anyone who will move to Old Trafford over the next few months.

Solskjaer told United's official app: "We've tried to educate our players and our kids to be proper people. In my view, the best players have always been the best people.

"You have to have that value system and a certain kind of attitude about you to make a Man United player.

"You have got to have the qualities and our fans want to see exciting players. Of course we want to get up from our seats. We want to see defenders who defend like they're doing it for their lives - that's the most important thing.

"When we start games (against big clubs), our fans clap a striker making a tackle. It's always been in our culture. You have to have that work ethic and we're scouting the market, trying to find the right ones."
