By AFPMore by this AuthorLONDONOle Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United retain the power to compete at the top end of the transfer market despite warnings their status as the Premier League's richest club is "at risk". According to Deloitte's Football Money League, United's revenue of £627.1 million ($814 million) in 2018-19 put them third overall behind only Barcelona and Real Madrid. But the consulting firm warned United could soon find themselves slipping behind Liverpool and Manchester City due to their failure to qualify for the Champions League. Solskjaer offered a robust defence of the club's status on Tuesday, speaking ahead of his side's FA Cup third-round relay against Wolves. With United well off the pace in the Premier League and needing to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit to rivals Manchester City in the semi-finals of the League Cup, Solskjaer is looking to the FA Cup as the most realistic prospect of silverware this season.
