"Marcos Rojo and Chris Smalling are out". If Marouane Fellaini gets through the session today, it’s more or less a full squad.

Solskjaer was again quizzed on his immediate future – not surprising given the amazing start he's made to live at Old Trafford. The Norwegian was guarded in his response, saying: “I don’t get distracted very easily, I’m very focused I know what my job is".

When asked about whether he was hoping to land the job on a permanent basis, he replied: “No, no, no it’s early doors and, of course, when I came in they were open and honest about, they’re going to have a process, looking for the next manager but the more you’re here, the more you enjoy it but it’s one game at a time and the day they announce the next manager, if it’s me or someone else, good luck.”

My job is Reading, Dubai then Tottenham, it’s not up to me am I up to this - it’s up to someone else. “I just focus on what my job was as a player and now..."
