Solskjaer says promising pair could feature against Leicester

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that young pair Shola Shoretire and Amad Traore could play against Leicester City on Tuesday.

Solskjaer is faced with a few selection issues after Harry Maguire's injury against Aston Villa on Sunday, and the prospect of a Europa League final on 26 May.

"They are in contention," Solskjaer said of Shoretire and Traore after the match against Villa. "They are in the first-team squad, they are training with us every day.

"I would think that some of the young boys will get an appearance, definitely.

"If it is coming on towards the end or from the start I don't know because I don't know how the players will be on Tuesday when we see them."

As two United academy products look to feature, another in Mason Greenwood continues to burnish his reputation with a clinical finish against Villa.

"Mason is learning all the time, he is learning on the job, and it is difficult, he's had to bear a lot of responsibility, and he has popped up and scored a lot of important goals for us," said Solskjaer.

"[On] Thursday night, he worked his socks off and he goes again. He is tired, his body is not really filled out yet and he might not be ready for all these games but he has got something special.

"The kid just turns a game around in one split second and the goal today was excellent.

"I'm delighted that he's got back to his goalscoring best and he's learning more and more all the other bits."
