Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has offered an injury update ahead of Manchester United’s last Premier League game of the season.
Solskjaer has conducted his final league press conference of 2020/21, which was streamed live on the club’s official app at 1pm.
Dan James, Scott McTominay and Fred should all be fit for Sunday and the Europa League final.
Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire are expected to miss out, but Solskjaer said they’re working hard to give themselves every chance.
“Dan (James) will be involved,”
said Solskjaer.
“Unfortunately, Anthony won’t make this one for the squad so Harry and Anthony are still working hard to be available for the final.
“Of course, they’ve been out for a long time.
“
On McTominay and Fred, Solskjaer said the midfield pair ‘should be okay’ for the weekend and the Europa League final on Wednesday.
James will hope to start Sunday’s game to get some much-needed match fitness ahead of the final.
McTominay and Fred will likely be rested at Molineux, to give themselves greater time to recover and rest for the big one in midweek.
It doesn’t appear Maguire or Martial will make the game with Villarreal, as determined as Solskjaer is to give them every chance.
But James could be a vital impact sub off the bench against tired legs in United’s biggest game of the season.
