Ole Gunnar Solskjaer responds to Nathan Ake transfer rumors

Manchester United boss has responded to the transfer rumors, concerning Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake. Dutch professional has been linked with the Red Devils, following the club's 5 - 2 win over the Premier League rivals. The camera caught Solskjaer chatting with the defender, and BT Sport claimed United manager told Ake: "You need a bit of luck from your centre-backs. Just keep going." Meanwhile, Red Devils supporters suggested that the Norwegian boss said: "We need a left-footed centre-back, so keep going." However, speaking about the transfer links, Solskjaer has played down the rumors that he wants to sign Bournemouth defender. In his pre-match press conference, he said: "I've got seven centre-backs, so I don't know where that's come from. We're fine." United manager also talked about the club's target, Jack Grealish, ahead of Aston Villa clash. "I think the last game obviously they caused us some problems, both Grealish off left and (Anwar) El Ghazi off the right. He scored a fantastic goal. There's been lots said and talked about him and we need to be aware of him. Whoever is close to him, if he's off the left, in the middle, on the right. What he does is attract players to him and create space for others, so there's not just one player in that Villa team. There's many of them," he added.
