Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he may need to boost his midfield options in January after defeat Arsenal.

Solskjaer says the injuries to Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay are being felt.

After the 2-0 reverse last night, Solskjaer said: "You can see the squad and sometimes you think, yeah, one or two additions would do nicely because we are building towards something. It just depends on if what we think will be right for us will be available. Of course it's playing on our decision-making when we've got two players out for a bit, Scott for two months and Paul for a month.

"That gives us less options and we have loads of games and important games. But it still has to be right and that's the big point here, if someone is available and something is possible we'll do it. We're looking at one or two."

On Fred and Nemanja Matic's performances, the manager added: "We've been without him [Pogba] all season and the boys that have played have been fantastic. Now we're without [McTominay as well as Pogba] so Nemanja and Fred [will continue]. If they played like tonight then I'm happy with them because they played well, the two of them. Of course you always want competition for places at a place like this and you want players to rotate with.

"We've been suffering a little bit, especially in midfield but you've just got to cope with it. The boys who are playing have been fantastic and have really put an effort in. They'll go again on Saturday and Tuesday and then next Saturday – it's a relentless period."
