Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed his team will be rotated for their Carabao Cup clash against Brighton.

United faced Brighton days ago in the Premier League, narrowly winning 3-2.

However, he will rotate his team as they battle fixture congestion and attempt to restore their players to full sharpness.

Solskjaer told MUTV: "I'm not sure. Every game lives its own life and, of course at the stage we're at in the season with all the games coming up, I think teams are making changes.

"You can see teams have a cup team and a league team and we'll make changes. It'll be very similar to what happened last week against Luton.

"It's an opportunity for game-time. We need to build up the squad for a long season ahead and, of course, it's an opportunity for individuals to impress.

"At the stage we're at, we need to have players ready and available because it's a long season. But we have a strong and a big squad."
