Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says James Garner could see more action this weekend.

Garner was introduced for summer signing Fred in the closing stages of an excellent 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace last night, a club record eighth successive win on the road.

"We've been waiting for that chance [to introduce him to the first team],"" explained Solskjaer to MUTV. "“Of course, now with Nemanja [Matic] and Ander [Herrera] injured, there'll be more chances for Jimmy. "

"We might even see him on Saturday against Southampton again."

Speaking at his post-match press conference at Selhurst Park, Solskjaer added: “I believe he has got the chance to have a great future. Of course, he has to keep working."

"He knows we believe in him. We have great faith in him as the next Michael Carrick. I know he's young and it's not fair on kids to compare them to great players like Michael was, but he's in the same mould. He can see the game, he plays simple passes. He sees through the lines, like Scott McTominay did tonight.

“Michael had pressure coming in after Roy Keane. So it's just the way it is at Manchester United."
