OLE Gunnar Solskjaer appeared to pour cold water over speculation regarding Cherries defender Nathan Ake and said “we’re fine” for centre-backs.
In footage aired by BT Sport, the Manchester United boss briefly spoke with Dutch defender Ake after United beat Cherries 5-2 at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Although the BT Sport captions read: “You need a bit of luck from your centre-backs. Just keep going.” Many felt Solskjaer actually said: “We need a left-footed centre-back, so keep going.”
But the Norwegian appeared to dismiss any interest in Ake when asked about the conversation on Wednesday.
He said: “I’ve got seven centre-backs, so I don’t know where that’s come from.
“We’re fine.”
