Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits David de Gea wasn't happy about losing his starting spot and has challenged the him to win it back... as Man United boss recalls how he had to compete with Sheringham, Cole and Yorke to show Ferguson 'he had a role to play'

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits David de Gea is unhappy over losing his place at Manchester United to Dean Henderson and has challenged the Spanish goalkeeper to fight to win it back.

Henderson has played the last seven games ahead of Thursday night’s Europa League quarter-final clash with Granada in Spain, with the England keeper’s selection for Sunday’s win over Brighton particularly significant.
