Man Utd boss Solskjaer hints Henderson to start at Istanbul Basaksehir

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Dean Henderson could face Istanbul Basaksehir tomorrow night.

There is an expectation that David de Gea will be rested for the Champions League game in Istanbul.

Solskjaer said today: “I think you've got a chance to see all 23 players tomorrow. Dean has been great in training and in games, you will see the team when we start."

Should he start, it would mark a Champions League debut for Henderson.

Solskjaer also said, "It is always positive to have options, we have a style we want to play. Sometimes on paper it looks 4-4-2, 4-3-3. The principles are still there, for us when we start with three at the back it is the same as when we have four at the back."
