FA chiefs released a statement last week saying they intended to finish the campaign but refused to set a date for its return
They have reportedly been given a “tentative'”green light to resume in June behind closed doors if the situation improves as hoped.
But despite the lack of action, the work never stops for Solskjaer, and he is well on with planning his continued Old Trafford rebuild.
Speaking to Sky Sports’ Gary Neville and Geoff Shreeves, the 47-year-old Norwegian said: “Football is going to get back to normality at one point, and it’s very important we’re ready when that happens.
WORK NEVER STOPS FOR OLE
“We want to be the best at everything, and of course now is a chance to spend more time, you discuss players, discuss plans.
“We’ve evaluated what we need, of course with the coaching staff we’ve looked at games, evaluated games, discussing on video calls like this.
“Then, the market, who knows how the market is going to react to this? Who knows which clubs need to sell players?
“There might be just a situation there where you can exploit, and I know that we at Man United we are one of the biggest, and the biggest, financially well-off.
“I’m sure we are capable, when we get back to normality, that we can do the business that we want to.”
United have been linked with a whole host of players, while there are continued rumours that Paul Pogba will be on his way out in the summer.
The French midfielder could even exploit a Fifa loophole to buy out his contract and leave the club.
One player who could replace him in the United squad is Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.
German journalist Raphael Honigstein has revealed he’s heard the idea of heading to Old Trafford is “quite appealing” to England star Sancho.
The former Manchester City star, 20, has been the subject of transfer speculation all season, with Man Utd joined by Chelsea in the race for the £100million-rated Borussia Dortmund winger.
But while the Blues’ displays have been patchy, Sancho will have been buoyed by United’s uptick in form lately, coinciding with the arrival of Bruno Fernandes.
