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 trained well and he has looked sharp when he has been here.

“Paul joined in, actually, the day after [the AC Milan match]. I wasn’t going to risk him, travelling down with the flight, but he joined in the game against Blackburn the day after, behind closed doors here. He is available. All of the boys are fit. It was always our aim to get to the starting line with as many players as fit as possible. Of course, Eric’s injury is bad news but the rest of them are available.”

Lukaku's exit is set to provide more opportunities for 17-year-old forward Greenwood, while goals are also expected to be supplied by the other forward players.

“Of course, Rom [Lukaku] 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 [Anthony] Martial, [Marcus] 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.
