Defenders Marcos Rojo and Chris Smalling, who are yet to feature under Solskjaer, will not play as they continue their recovery from injuries.

Romelu Lukaku came off the bench at St James' Park to score the opener with his first touch of the game, while Marcus Rashford was teed up for United's second by fellow substitute Alexis Sanchez.
Solskjaer confirmed both Lukaku and Sanchez are likely to start against Reading, after the duo's decisive appearances at Newcastle.
"There will be a few changes [for the game] and they will [all] get a chance," Solskjaer said.
"Some of them are itching now to play, of course. [I want to] get Lukaku a start, get Sanchez a start. That's important for them because they need more game time."
