MANCHESTER UNITED boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won’t be getting his hands on a trophy this week – so made do with picking up the weekly shopping instead.
The Red Devils crashed out of the Europa League on Sunday after a narrow 2-1 semi-final defeat to Sevilla in Cologne.

But the Norwegian has made sure that while United’s trophy cupboard will not have any new additions, the Solskjaers’ kitchen cupboards will.
United fans will be hoping that his summer shopping doesn’t stop there, however, with plenty of targets reportedly on the club’s radar.
No1 on their list all year has been Jadon Sancho, although Borussia Dortmund are still playing hardball over their prized asset.
United missed the Bundesliga side’s August 10 deadline to agree a deal, although still hope to find a way to make the transfer happen.
Michael Zorc, Sebastian Kehl and Hans-Joachim Watzke of the Dortmund hierarchy, however, have all publicly ruled out the potential move.
One alternative appeared to be forming in the shape of Ousmane Dembele, although Barcelona chiefs have now rubbished that deal’s prospects too.
United are also believed to be chasing a centre-back, with a number of names having been mentioned.
Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly is a dream target, while West Ham’s Issa Diop is on their radar.

They appear to have missed out on Hellas Verona’s Marash Kumbulla, however, with the young defender seemingly Inter Milan-bound.
Solskjaer will also be hoping to keep his existing house in order, with Dean Henderson’s future a point of contention.
Chelsea have been sniffing around the impressive young goalkeeper, although SunSport last night revealed that he will be offered £100,000-a-week by United to stay put.
