Manchester United Treble winner Andy Cole has questioned whether manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can convince their top transfer targets to move to Old Trafford.

So far, United have failed in their pursuit of their top target, Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho, and former United striker Cole insists Solskjaer now has a job on his hands to persuade players to join the new generation at Old Trafford.

"When Manchester United were dominating all the best players wanted to come to Man United and they wanted to come for a reason, because they had the opportunity of winning and that's what it's about," Cole told Goal.

"When you don't have the opportunity to win you're not going to say you will go to Man United if Liverpool or Man City are interested. Instead, you're going to go to one of those clubs where you can win things.

"To convince players at the peak of their playing career to join a club and a project that will take two or three years, you've got to be a very good salesman."
