Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Gomes & Chong could face Chelsea

Manchester United youngsters Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong will likely be involved in Monday's FA Cup fifth-round against Chelsea.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard are injured for up to three weeks.

And the Norwegian says Gomes and Chong could be called upon to replace them in the match-day squad.

"Yeah, it might be," Solskjaer replied when asked if Chong or Gomes could get a chance at Chelsea. "We've got still forward options but Angel and Chongy have been training with us all week, so there's a big chance they'll be involved.

"It's a chance for anyone who plays, Alexis, Romelu, Chongy or Angel. Anthony and Jesse have done really well for us, they're vital but then again with Rom and Alexis, they've got different skill sets and will be able to show what they can do. So we need to gel a team together for Monday."
