Soccer-No more excuses - big-spending United must push City all the way

United finally landed England winger Sancho for 73 million pounds in July before making another eye-catching move by signing serial winning defender Raphael Varane from Real Madrid.

United made another big investment this summer in handing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a three-year contract and the much-loved former striker must now turn the 20-times English champions back into the force they were before Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. Yet Solskjaer has been given more time and money than any of Ferguson's successors and if he cannot sustain a serious title charge, he will face renewed questions about his suitability to coach England's biggest and most successful club.

The German proved a wily tactician and turned a team with a soft centre into an ultra-competitive side who conceded only two goals in their first 14 games in all competitions.
