Manchester United boss Solskjaer hails ‘special’ Greenwood ahead of Leicester clash

Last week's clash with Liverpool was called off after fans invaded the pitch at Old Trafford during protests against the Glazers, United's American owners, following the collapse of the European Super League. Solskjaer, who is waiting to learn the extent of Harry Maguire's ankle injury, said with the title race still alive he would like to go "full out in all the games" but admitted it was impossible. "Talking about integrity in the league and stuff, don't blame me when I have to make changes because I have to," he said. "It's not safe for them to play all four so I have got to prioritise." Solskjaer has several potential youthful replacements including Amad Diallo, Shola Shoretire and Anthony Elanga. "They're in contention, yeah, definitely," he said. "They're in the first-team squad, they're training with us every day, so I would think that some of the young boys will get an appearance, definitely."
