Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may welcome a week away from the cameras, microphones and reporters at the Aon Training Complex, particularly as the questions he might have faced today would have focused on the injury problems that several members of the first-team squad have picked up this week.
In case you’re not up to date, it was confirmed last Sunday evening that Anthony Martial had withdrawn from France duty. On Monday, Luke Shaw pulled out of the England squad and two days later it was revealed that Nemanja Matic would not feature in either of Serbia’s matches.
A fourth injury problem was unfortunately reported on Thursday, when England manager Gareth Southgate declared Marcus Rashford would return to United after being deemed unfit for action.
