Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a positive update for fans on the fitness of two key players.

Solskjaer spoke at his press conference ahead of their UEFA Europa League tie against Partizan Belgrade.

He mentioned that Luke Shaw and Nemanja Matic are close to being available for selection.

"Both have injuries," the United manager told the press on Wednesday evening.

"They've gone past the injury stage and brought staff with them to go work with them so hopefully not too long, I expect them back in Manchester for the weekend and then let's see when they'll be available."

When asked why certain players had gone to Dubai for warm weather training as part of their injury recovery, Solskjaer said:"There are different reasons for why they go away for training."
