Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has
delivered an update on the latest team news ahead of our opening game of the
Premier League season against Chelsea. The Reds begin competitive action on Sunday
at 16:30 BST with an Old Trafford encounter to savour in Frank Lampard's first
game in charge of the visitors following his summer switch from Derby County.
Romelu Lukaku joined Inter Milan on the final day of the
English transfer window but new signings Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire and
Daniel James are all available to make their debuts. The Dutchman’s two drawback saves in the first
half to deny first Rashford. Football fans can book Premier

Indeed, the boss has confirmed to MUTV that
Maguire is set to start at the heart of the defence. Mason Greenwood is a
contender for a striking spot after his impressive pre-season campaign but Eric
Bailly and Tim Fosu-Mensah are both sidelined through injury.
Paul Pogba is fit to start after nursing a back problem
while Alexis Sanchez may not be ready to feature this weekend despite training
well after sustaining an injury with Chile at the Copa America.
Alexis has come in and qualified well said Solskjaer. Of
course, he's four or five weeks behind the boys and he's not played apart from
a one behind-closed-doors here so I think he'll see this as an opportunity as
well to make his mark.
In an exclusive interview with MUTV ole
said Harry has impressed me very much so. He has come in as a presence. He
is taller and bigger than I thought. He has come in as a real plus. He will
have an impact on the rest of the boys.

Yeah, Harry is ready to play. I am sure he will put himself
up when I ask him on Sunday morning if he is available because he has played
many games for Leicester over the pre-season. He has qualified well and he has
looked high-pitched when he has been here.
Paul joined in, in fact, the day after the AC Milan match.
The day after behind closed doors here. All of the boys are fit. I was not going to risk him travelling down
with the flight but he joined in the game against Blackburn. He is available.
All of the boys are fit. It was always our aim to get to the starting mark with
as many players as fit as possible.
Of course, Eric’s damage is bad news but the rest of them
are available. Lukaku’s exit is set to provide more chances for 17-year-old
forward Greenwood while goals are also expected to be supplied by the other
forward players.
Of course, Rom has a good record and good stats added Ole. He’s
one of the top number nines around when you want to play with that kind of
striker and he's that target man. For me, I'm very confident that we'll get
goals from Martial, Rashford. Dan James will come in and create. I'm sure Jesse
Lingard will get more [goals] so we do have a different attacking set-up this
season.
You do have players that you think are going to make an
impact and Mason Greenwood's pathway would have been a lot more difficult of
course if we had another forward there. So, for me, I believe that Mason's
going to be playing and complicated a lot and when he is, he'll score goals.
WHAT ABOUT CHELSEA?
Chelsea sold defender David Luiz to London rivals Arsenal
on deadline day and are without injured quartet Antonio Rudiger, Reece James,
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Of course, there is no Eden Hazard, following his big-money
move to Real Madrid, but Mateo Kovacic sealed a permanent transfer to Stamford
Bridge and Christian Pulisic also finalized his planned move, despite a FIFA
transfer embargo being enforced this summer.
