Meanwhile, Edinson Cavani was out of the Manchester derby due to injury but the manager revealed he's still in rehab. Although, he isn't match fit for Thursday's game. 

“Edinson has done well in his rehab, but we're still going to make a decision on whether we should risk him,”

explained Ole at his press conference.

“Because it is a risk, it's a little bit too early. I doubt he'll be available for me to pick him tomorrow."

On Rojo and Jone injury, he said: “Marcos has just felt a niggle in his calf again. He's worked really hard to come back, he played a game with the Reserves and got a knock there. Worked really hard again, then felt something. He's hopefully back in January, Marcos. Phil [Jones] should be ready by January and Sergio [Romero] has been training hard as well.”

The manager went ahead to speak about the upcoming fixtures for Manchester United in the festive period. 

“Of course, we're going into a very, very tight schedule now with six games in less than 16 days,”he added. 

“We know we can't take any risks if there are any niggles. There are a couple of little things that we're waiting for, to see how they react, before we pick the squad.”
