United named a 22-strong squad for the game, but are missing some senior players.
Dean Henderson, Alex Telles, Scott McTominay and Amad Diallo are absentees, but perhaps the most significant will be Edinson Cavani.
The Uruguay striker missed the win over Newcastle at the weekend with a knock from training. It shouldn’t be too much of an issue, though, if Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to start again after his two goals in that game.
Solskjaer, though, is hopeful he will have his other experienced forward at his disposal in the near future.
“Edi is hopefully back with us soon,” he explained. “He had a slight strain during the international break in a behind closed door game. He’s working hard to come back.”
