The Norwegian is looking to revamp his squad in the market after a disappointing sixth-place Premier League finish in 2018/19.
However, ESPN FC reports that his spending power will be limited to £100 million unless the club can raise further cash from player sales.

James, who arrived from Swansea City for £15 million, is United’s only signing of the summer so far, with players scheduled to report for pre-season training on July 1.
