EPL: Solskjaer speaks on Martial, Lingard playing Man United, Liverpool clash

By Don Silas

Manchester United caretaker manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that forwards, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial could be fit to return for the Red Devils’ Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday at Old Trafford.

Both Martial and Lingard sustained injury during Man United’s 2-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16 first leg encounter at Old Trafford last week Tuesday.

Solskjaer confirmed that both players have been doing some recovery work and could return to first-team training ahead of Liverpool clash.

“We are looking okay,” Solskjaer was quoted by Sky Sports as saying on Friday, adding that: “I hope Jesse and Anthony will be okay to play Liverpool clash.

“They have got to get through these two sessions, they have not been part of it [training] yet. They have been doing some recovery work.

“Every single player has their attributes and I think we showed against Chelsea that we can manage without them.

“We have got options, it is a big squad with good players and everyone is eager to play this game against Liverpool.”

The kick-off time for the match is 3:05 pm.
