Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms three Man Utd starters for Astana Europa League clash

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already named three members of his Manchester United starting lineup for Thursday's Europa League clash against Astana. Goalkeeper Sergio Romero, Axel Tuenzebe and forward Mason Greenwood will all be in the starting line-up. "Obviously David (De Gea) signed his contract and now we’ve got him maybe we should keep on playing him," joked Solskjaer at his press conference on Wednesday. "Sergio will play tomorrow for sure, he’s proven to be a top keeper behind David and keep him ready for if something happens to David. (It is ) time for him to have some much-needed game time." "He (Axel) is going to start," Solskjaer continued. "We’ve got a big squad, pre-season went really well. Axel is one who didn’t make the starting XI so now it is a chance for them to get some minutes. "We will see the use of the squad more, there will be some young ones tomorrow. Greenwood will play definitely." On Greenwood, he added: "He’s still very young but he’s maturing and he’s developed so much since I came in. The kid who just wanted to play with his mates in the under-18 and now he’s knocking on the door wanting to play more. His appetite for football is growing I don’t want to put too much pressure apart from go out there, enjoy yourself and work hard."
