Solskjaer is adamant he already knows how he wants his team to look next season – and says he needs three more players.
To get what he wants he said he needs the executive vice-chairman to act quickly and decisively in the market.
United had to wait late to bring in Harry Maguire on a world-record deal in the summer after failing to replace striker Romelu Lukaku, who left to join Inter Milan.
Solskjaer said: “We do have a clear picture of what the squad is going to look like in June/July.
“Hopefully you get as much done as soon as possible.
“With Harry coming in, Romelu going out, it was late. We do have a plan now.”
Former Man City star Jadon Sancho and Red Bull Salzburg goal machine Erling Haaland are top of Ole’s wishlist.
And he has been promised the funds to bring them in.
United are also looking to bring in at least one midfielder.
