Manchester United Women could hand a first-team debut to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s daughter Karna in their Continental Cup game at Durham on Thursday evening.
Karna, a striker like her father, joined the women’s academy at United in 2019. She played for local sides in Norway while he was manager of Molde and moved to England when he took charge at Old Trafford in 2018.
The 18-year-old scored four goals in the academy’s 7-1 win over Bristol last week and has eight goals in four games this season. Solskjaer is often seen in the stands at the academy’s Moss Lane ground in Altrincham to support his daughter but is unlikely to be there on Thursday evening.
