Caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is making the case for Manchester United to sign Bournemouth attacker Josh King in the January transfer window, according to reports.

The 45-year-old made the perfect start to life in the Old Trafford dugout on Saturday, overseeing a 5-1 victory against Cardiff City – the Red Devils’ biggest Premier League win since Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge.

But Solskjaer is keen to add even more firepower to an attack that was rampant in Wales, with The Sun claiming he wants to bring King back to Old Trafford.

Speaking at his unveiling, Solskjaer said he ‘will have an input’ in the upcoming January window and he is a huge admirer of countryman King.

The Norwegian forward has five goals in 15 Premier League appearances this season, as well as laying on two assists, and is valued at around £25million by Bournemouth.

Solskjaer worked with King while he was manager of the reserves, with the 26-year-old coming through the club’s academy – and, crucially, counting as a homegrown player.

United are thought to be wary of investing in players for Solskjaer in January, given that he will leave in the summer, but King has a long-time admirer in the form of prospective boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentine, one of the leading contenders to take over at Old Trafford permanently, tried to sign King for Tottenham last year.

United are also believed to be in the market for a new centre-back – a position Jose Mourinho was desperate to strengthen before being axed – and are keeping tabs on Porto’s Eder Militao.

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was

WHAT A HUSBAND TOLD HIS WIFE THE NIGHT OF THEIR MARRIAGE/ WEDDING

My wife, everyone has gone home. The music is quiet, the celebration is over. Our wedding was beautiful but it is now in the past.

MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ This life moment

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know crewhat I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? You know I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten
