Solskjaer clarifies the captaincy

Anthony Martial missed the Boxing Day win over Huddersfield with illness, while Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez are yet to feature under the Norwegian. But the Reds' new boss is excited at the prospect of having a fully fit sextet at his disposal in attack.

“My thing now is Romelu, Alexis, Anthony, Marcus, Jesse, Juan – there are six forwards for you,”

gleamed Solskjaer.

“Will we play with more than four at a time? I'm not sure, so the rotation and the communication between the players, so they know they're going to get chances, is important for me.
