Manchester United will look at loan signings in January, says Solskjaer


The Red Devils are still looking to recover from their worst start to a league season for 30 years and are languishing in 10th in the Premier League

Manchester United could make use of the loan market to strengthen their team in January, according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
United are still looking to recover from their worst start to a league season for 30 years, languishing in 10th in the Premier League and having lost four of their opening 12 games.
The manager will be hopeful that a corner has been turned following the 3-1 win against Brighton with which the team signed off before the international break
United still face a daunting task if they are to haul themselves into contention for qualifying for the Champions League, with the gap to make up to fourth-place Chelsea still 10 points.
“It's not about X amount of money,” said Solskjaer when asked how big the club's transfer budget might be.
“[Buying players] is about who we think is going to be good for the club in the long term, not just for three or four months.
”[Are those people available?] Probably not, because that's the thing in January - not many clubs will sell players they want to keep in January. 
“Maybe one or two could be a loan deal, but that's not a money thing, that's to help the team. But we're getting players back. We're looking at what can be available for us.”

Gun Background Checks in February Were the 3rd Highest Ever

February was one of the biggest months on record for gun background checks , according to new FBI data. The number of background checks conducted by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System on people trying to purchase a firearm hit 2.6 million in February, down from a high of 3.3 million in December 2015, according to the FBI. February’s background check total was the third largest in history, also falling short of the 2.7 million conducted in December 2012 after the deadly mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School .
