Manchester United next travel to Saint Mary’s this weekend as the Red Devils face Southampton in the Premier League. The Manchester United squad had endured a few niggles in their last game against Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League in midweek. In his latest press conference, Solskjaer has talked about the fitness of the squad and that Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay will be out for the game.
It was earlier reported that Pogba had missed the Champions League game at Old Trafford in the midweek due to an ankle injury. The likes of Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were also taken off because of injury concerns to both the players. Solskjaer has updated about the fitness of these players and has come out with some good and bad news as well.
In his press conference, Solskjaer said: “Scott and Paul, they didn’t train this morning,” said Ole at his press conference. “They were not on the grass so they are very unlikely for the weekend. Marcus, Victor and Aaron, they came through the session today, so hopefully they should be okay, [if] still not 100 per cent.”
Pogba will again miss another game for Manchester United after the international break, where he did well for France. McTominay has also been good for the Red Devils this season and United might miss him in the midfield against Southampton. Solskjaer will hope that Lindelof and Wan-Bissaka get 100% fit before the weekend as they are vital to the team.
