Solskjaer confirms star set to leave the club and provides injury updates: Press Conference

Manchester United looking for a 10th win in their last 12 league outings, while Southampton Climbed out of the relegation zone with their midweek victory against Fulham. Ahead of the game, Manchester United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has faced the press. On injuries - Martial the only possible return It’s the last session today but we’re not going to take any risks, maybe Anthony [Martial]. But it might just be a few more days before he’s ready so probably the squad will look similar to what it did at Wednesday. Antonio Valencia set to leave Antonio is still not 100 per cent fit, still working to get back fit, but he’s had a fantastic career here at Manchester United and England. He’s one of the Premier Leaguer winners left in the dressing-room, but I’m not sure if Manchester United and Antonio will agree on the next year. So it depends if he gets back on the pitch in the next few months, but he’s the captain, a great servant to the club, so hopefully I can get him on the pitch and he show what he can do. Taking it game-by-game You do have a plan but then you get suspensions, injuries, that one injury or one suspension might change the whole dynamic. It’s a matter of seeing who’s available now, Wednesday night at Selhurst Park is a tough one and then Friday morning still so not too much recovery time. We’ll make our minds up tonight. On De Gea's contract situation No updates from me, the club and David are in dialogue, hopefully they’ll agree. It’s out of my hands but I’m sure we’ll do what we can. David’s done fantastic since he came, the club really showed how much they wanted him back in the day when Eric Steele [former goalkeeping coach] and the gaffer found him. There was probably keepers there better at that time, but the belief the manager showed in him, with the criticism he got, paid dividends. More on De Gea He’s been player of the year I don’t know how many years, we’re grateful to have him. Then again we’ve got Sergio and Lee, fantastic goalkeeper dept, I don’t think there’s any manager in the world who’ll beat me in that respect. And more on De Gea It’s difficult to compare them, but Edwin and Peter were never player of the year, David’s meant so many points for us over the years and I would say he’s the best goalkeeper in the world. Peter was at the time and Edwin at the time as well, I’m delighted with David and his personality is fantastic. Such a humble and confident boy. Rashford may well start He still felt it Wednesday night but he’ll be ready I’ll probably start him. Solskjaer on Southampton We’ve had a good look at them, you’ve gotta be two or three games ahead. It was a big win against Fulham, he did great when he came in they had a tougher spell in February but when you win a game like this you’re confident. We need to get back to winning ways at home and Southampton might change but we’ve got to focus on what we improve on. On Luke Shaw's form I don’t know what I’ve done differently, he’s played - but it’s him. He’s got another couple of years in him Luke and when he decides to drive forward and goes into fifth gear there’s no one quicker. No one as sharp, Confidence grows when you play well and I’ve been delighted with his performances. Looking ahead to PSG? Wednesday doesn’t come in mind whatsoever. Saturday, 3 o’clock, Wednesday night in Paris, we’ve got so much time to get our recovery in. It’s more about Saturday afternoon and see if everybody is available again, 100% focused on this one.. Solskjaer on Lukaku It’s similar to what I said [on Wednesday], we needed to get back to winning ways at home, we’ve not scored in the last two against PSG and Liverpool. Romelu I’m sure the two goals will give him a lot of he’ll hope he’ll get his goal, Rom, Alexis Marcus, whoever plays up there will score goals.
