Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided an injury update on two of his key players ahead of this weekend’s game at Leicester City.
The Manchester United interim manager hopes that both Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial will be available as they look to return to winning ways after their dramatic 2-2 draw with Burnley at Old Trafford in midweek.
Pogba suffered a knock during that game while Martial missed out altogether having sustained an injury during training.
Solskjaer, who is still to taste defeat since replacing the sacked Jose Mourinho in December, stated: “We’ve not had a proper session since the game, so hopefully both of them can get through that.
I don’t think there’s anything with Paul. Anthony has done some rehab work, so he will try a session today, so I would imagine he would be available to be involved. He seemed happy yesterday.”
United are still without Marcos Rojo but centre-back Chris Smalling made an appearance on the bench for the game against Burnley having recovered from a toe injury.
Solskjaer may recall Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard for a game Solskjaer is approaching with caution.
“I watched their game (against Liverpool) on Wednesday and it is a team full of energy and pace,” he said. “So of course, they defend well, because they drop back and defend, so it’s hard to break them down and they’ve got the pace up front with (Jamie) Vardy, (Demarai) Gray, (James) Maddison, (Marc) Albrighton.
“Also Leicester beat Chelsea. So it’s going to be a tough challenge, but we like challenges.“
