Was Solskjaer excited with Sancho joining Man United?

He told the club's official website while Football 365 also reported that:

“Very much so. He’s such a talented boy. As it’s been known all over the world, we’ve followed Jadon for a long, long time. He’s a player that we’ve targeted and we think his qualities will fit right in here at Man United.”

What are the qualities that stand Sancho out?

The Red Devils handler added that the former Dortmund star is dynamic and will give his team a whole new dimension when he plays. He added:

“He’s such a creative, positive winger and forward player. He can play wide, nip into the pockets and he excites the fans.
"He takes people on one-against-one, he creates chances, he works hard and he loves football. And there is some untapped talent there I am sure, and coming into this environment will help him improve as well.”

Sancho joined Dortmund from Man City for just £8 million and about four years after, he is back in England with United paying £73m for his signature.

Meanwhile, he scored 50 goals and 64 assists in all competitions for the German League outfit during his reign at the club.

The Red Devils paid a staggering £73million for the attacker making him the second-costliest Englishman of all time after Harry Maguire.

A fee for the Manchester City academy graduate was agreed at the start of July and a five-year deal has been completed despite Sancho's Euro 2020 horror.
