Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is understood to be planning a lucrative summer spree at Old Trafford with Jadon Sancho and Kalidou Koulibaly among the main targets.
With the club yet to appoint a director of football, the Norwegian will have a large amount of authority in the transfer market.
While midfield also looks a point of concern especially with the expected departures of Ander Herrera and Juan Mata, Solskjaer told ESPN he does not feel the need bolster any particular area of his squad.
He would welcome two players with open arms, however.
“There's no particular position really [that we need to strengthen],” the 46-year-old said.
“But if Messi comes up then maybe we can, or Ronaldo.
“If Ronaldo wants to come home then maybe we should take him back, eh?”
“When I came in, the players, I think they're great,” he added.
“I think they're all so good, and I just want to try to improve them.
“I think the work we have done on the training pitch is showing that they are improving.”

He is just being a good manager. You don't tell the press that my defence is useless, midfield worse, blah blah when you have such important matches coming up. The current players must feel valued to give their all. Meanwhile you plan reinforcements behind closed doors.

Man Utd has started to sing a sour song again, what's the meaning of we don't need to strengthen ? from wanting 6 players to players we have now are good , the same song Mourinho sang last summer from 4 players to begging for one defender which never was . What Ole just said is not music to the ears at all [Crylaugh] , we just hope Ed Woodward is not about to give us another transfer heartache of zero signings , in the past few days it was all over the place Solskjaer has handed the club list of players he needs , and now , what's this he's saying we don't need to strengthen ??? theatre of dramas" or what ? #edout

Brilliant tactical approach by OGS. He is trying to boost the inner confidence of team. His words means there is enough strength in the team to take on any teams. Unlike Mourinho, Van gaal he is not into making public opinion on the team’s inner issues which he does have to resolve. The weak defence, Ball losing midfield and misfiring attack. If he opens this outside that would lead to catastrophe as it happened wi Mourinho. I think this good way of approach to keep the team together.
