It's been gathered that Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek and Edinson Cavani will not be available for selection in the game. 

“They'll still be missing,” Solskjaer told the media during his press conference. “They've not joined training so they won't be ready. no. Paul has been outside on the grass and is starting to step up his recovery but he's not near the team for this game.”

Solskjaer has also hinted that he might be selecting the same squad that recorded the victory against Newcastle last weekend. 

“It'll be more or less the same squad that we had against Newcastle,” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added the boss at his press conference."

Meanwhile, the manager has also revealed that two youngsters, Amad Diallo and Shola Shoretire are in the squad but didn't specify whether they might be starting the game. 

Solskjaer concluded: “Hannibal is injured for about a month. Amad and Shola will, of course, be involved. They are in the squad but I am not going to tell you if they are starting or not.”
