Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals transfer plans for the club youngsters ahead of pre-season

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expects more young players to leave Manchester United on loan before the transfer window closes, but not before their contribution in the club's pre-season. A number of United players are set to return in several weeks due to their involvement in Euro 20250 and Copa America, hence the youngsters will be given an opportunity to play a huge part in the first-team squad's initial preparations for 2021/22. “We’ve got six weeks together before the league starts and a couple of training camps here in the UK,” Solskjaer said. “It’s the most sensible thing, we felt, being in and around here. You don’t get the, how do you say, aggravation of: 'Are we green, red or amber [in terms of travelling abroad]?' It’s just the way the world works at the moment. “The young kids will definitely be part of the Derby game [Sunday 18 July, kick-off 15:00 BST] and then we’ve got another couple of games coming up and they can be part of it.” Then the Norwegian boss added: “Gradually, more and more players from the Euros will join in. They’ll [the youngsters] get a taste of some football. Then roundabouts early August, some will go on loan. “We’ve already lined up a few and some of them are still in discussions between us and the players about where is the best place to go.” “Some of the players have just started their holiday, so we know it’s a depleted squad, but it gives the young kids a taste of what it is like to have a proper pre-season with top professionals like Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata in the first team, Lee Grant, Tom Heaton is back. They’ve done it so many times. Mason [Greenwood], Aaron [Wan-Bissaka], Axel [Tuanzebe] are first-team players who will bring these boys along and it’s a good opportunity for them.”
