Man Utd boss Solskjaer admits Maguire could make Norwich clash

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Harry Maguire could make their clash with Norwich City.

It was feared that Maguire could be out for up to two months after suffering a torn hip muscle in last weekend's FA Cup draw at Wolves.

But after missing Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat by Manchester City, Maguire could return in just seven days with Solskjaer praising him for putting his body on the line for the team.

"He's got a chance for tomorrow," said the United boss. "It was a minor thing and he will go through training today.

"It's not a surprise. He's a warrior and if there's a minor problem he'll put himself up to play. At half-time (against Wolves) he was feeling discomfort, but he was close to playing against City. He was just not fit enough, but he's got a chance now."
