It's no secret that Solskjaer admires the dynamic midfielder Rice, but the deal never materialized.
United concentrated on signing Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, however they were pleasantly pleased by Cristiano Ronaldo's unexpected availability.
Fans were happy with the work done, but there was a sense of being "near but not quite there" because they failed to recruit a much-needed midfielder like Rice.
According to ESPN, United's scouting department has been instructed to look for alternatives to Rice because Solskjaer believes West Ham's asking price is too high.
The recruiting staff is said to be unsure if the England international can take the squad to the next level and whether he can compliment rather than hamper Scott McTominay.
When it comes to signing a defensive midfielder next year, Manchester United is believed to believe there are cheaper options outside of the Premier League.
