Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided updates on Manchester United's recent absentees Jesse Lingard and Dean Henderson ahead of the Southampton clash.
The Red Devils' duo were unavailable during the club's 5 - 1 Premier League victory over Leeds United last weekend due to the recovery process after positive COVID-19 tests.
Speaking about Lingard, Solskjaer has stressed that the attacker will have a key role in the upcoming plans.
“Don’t forget Jesse Lingard who has re-invented himself and has come back the man that we know he is with the quality. He is going to play a big part as well,” he told reporters after the Leeds win.
“Of course there could be more rotation. We will be fresher. We will have to have a big and strong squad to be competitive in this league. It's the best league in the world and we also have to be lucky with injuries, but I am looking forward to working with all these players.
“We have to work hard and see who is fit and available. There will be a few fit and available definitely [against Southampton next Sunday].”
On Henderson, the Norwegian manager added:
“We will see how he feels and, hopefully, he can join in training on Monday."
"It is a big important test for him and we hope he is feeling better."
