📣 Solskjaer on injury issues, following Haaland and Mata exit | OneFootball

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been addressing the media ahead of Manchester United’s Europa League clash with Real Sociedad.

This is the best of what he had to say.

On team news

“Edinson Cavani, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek are still out.

“They’ve still not trained enough so it is more or less the same squad as against Newcastle.

“Unfortunately, Hannibal [Mejbri] is injured so he’ll be out for a month but Amad [Diallo] and Shola [Shoretire] are in the squad.

“They’ll be involved but I won’t be saying if they start or not!”

On Erling Haaland

“When you have had kids and players through as a coach, you follow them and I keep in touch with Erling. It’s great to see the player he has become.

“He’s a Dortmund player, we respect that and wish him well there. Let’s see what life will bring later on.

“Who wasn’t interested in him a year ago?”

On goalkeeping situation

“Any player’s job is to keep the manager happy. It is not a bad headache to have.

“Dean [Henderson] has matured throughout the season. The Real Sociedad performance for me was his most assured.”

On Juan Mata linked to Serie A exit

“I’m not surprised that teams are interested in him. One, he is a very good footballer and two, he is a fantastic human being.

“I’m sure Juan has been able to speak to other clubs if he wanted to. We have a good dialogue.”

On five years since Marcus Rashford’s debut

“He has had an incredible impact both on and off the pitch. He has matured into a proper young man.

“He knows what it takes to be a United player both on and off it. He is living proof of what we want to do at the club.”

On his youth policy

“I believe in youth. They impress and surprise you. I have always loved working with young players. If you have a good attitude, with me, you have a chance.”
