Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named four youngsters in his preliminary squad ahead of facing Cardiff City.

Tahith Chong, Mason Greenwood, James Garner and Angel Gomes all linked up as part of a senior 20-man squad staying at the Lowry Hotel on Saturday evening.

United face Cardiff - whom they thrashed 5-1 in Solskjaer's first game after replacing Jose Mourinho - with their top four challenge having been ended in last week's dismal 1-1 draw with relegated Huddersfield.

Solskjaer could now offer full debuts to United's talented quartet.

Chong, 19, came on at Huddersfield last week and has played four times under the Norwegian, while Garner, 18, came off the bench against Crystal Palace in February - but has not figured since.

Greenwood, 17, was this week named the club's young player of the year and was last seen in the win over West Ham last month, while Gomes, 18, last featured for the first team with a nine minute cameo against Huddersfield on Boxing Day.
