Manchester United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the club’s injury crisis is an opportunity for James Garner, Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong.

The Norwegian is set to be without up to ten players for Wednesday’s clash against Crystal Palace after a taxing draw against Liverpool on Sunday cost him Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera.

The quartet have joined Nemanja Matic, Antonio Valencia, Anthony Martial Phil Jones, Mason Greenwood and Matteo Darmian on the sidelines.

That’s led Solskjaer to promote the talented trio from his academy and he says all three will be in the squad to face the Eagles.

‘The kids are joining in today,’ Solskjaer said.



‘They’ll be involved in the squad. They’ve been part of our training for a long time

‘Angel has been in that successful team with England U17s, the [born in] 2000 team with [Jadon] Sancho, [Callum] Hudson-Odoi and that [Phil] Foden and, he’s been a big part of that Angel has definitely shown he’ll do well.

‘James Garner is a Michael Carrick, but 20 years younger, so I’m sure he’ll do well. And Chongy will definitely be taking people on if he comes on, They’re ready, the kids, it’s hard when if you’re a defender if you’re 16 or 17 but as an attacker coming on but as an attacker you go out there and express yourself, there’s your chance, they can win the game not lose it.

‘We’ll have a good team on the pitch, there’ll be a chance for others. I’ve been sat on the outside getting a chance when this happens. Scott and Andy (Pereira) did fantastic, that’s the way it is. You’ve got to be ready when you get it.’
