Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Josh King at Manchester United with Bournemouth ace lined up for return
Man Utd are lining up a return for Bournemouth star Josh King

BOURNEMOUTH ace Josh King will be on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s radar next month.

The Manchester United caretaker insists he “will have an input” on transfers after getting appointed until the end of the season.

And he is a massive fan of fellow Norwegian King, 26, who he worked with as a youngster at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer was coaching the United reserves when the striker was coming up through the ranks, before establishing himself as a top Premier League player on the South Coast.

King is rated at £25million, but Cherries boss Eddie Howe will be desperate to keep hold of him.

Spurs are also keen on a player who netted 16 times in his first Premier League campaign with the Cherries, then struck nine times last term and five so far this season.

United are also looking to land a new centre-back.

And it’s believed they are eyeing Porto star Eder Militao, a one-time Brazil international also wanted by Real Madrid.

However, Porto are keen to keep him at the club and will look to hand him a new contract.

President Pinto Da Costa said: “There was talk of one or two clubs. There is a termination clause, we are trying to negotiate to renew the contract and increase the clause.”
