Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba could feature for Manchester United when they visit Leicester on Sunday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed.
The Norwegian’s eight-match winning start to life as United’s caretaker manager came to an end in Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with Burnley.
Martial missed that match through injury and Pogba limped out of the ground afterwards, but Solskjaer hopes to have them both available against the Foxes on Sunday.
He said: “We’ve not had a proper session since the game – hopefully both of them can get through that.
“I don’t think there’s anything with Paul. Anthony has done some rehab work, so he’ll try a session today.
“I would imagine he would be available to be involved. He seemed happy yesterday.”
Chris Smalling returned to the bench in midweek after a foot injury and is pushing for his first appearance in two months, but fellow defender Marcos Rojo remains out having not played since the penultimate match of Jose Mourinho’s reign in the Old Trafford hot seat.
Marouane Fellaini, the midfielder, will also not feature as he is close to sealing a transfer to Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng.
United hope to get back to winning ways against Leicester after the draw with Burnley.
The Red Devils looked set to lose their first match under Solskjaer as they were two goals behind with just four minutes remaining on the clock, but Paul Pogba scored a penalty to halve the deficit and Victor Lindelof netted an injury time equaliser.
Due to other results throughout the midweek fixtures, United remain in sixth place but are now just two points off the top four.
