Quartet Fred, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Dean Henderson and Eric Bailly could all be used after not being called upon, as although Solskjaer hasn't given any indication of the strength of team he will field for the third round clash, he told the club's official website: "We’ll make some changes, of course we will.
"For some, it’s the pre-season and, for some, they’ve only been here for a week now, for different reasons.
"Some of them need game-time, they do and we can see we’re lacking in sharpness.

Although Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe were out at the weekend due to injury, when asked if there are any fitness concerns, the United boss added: ”No injuries, no fresh injuries after that game, but as I said, we’ll rotate and give some minutes.
"Some, after the game, will do some harder training this week to get ready for Brighton, some will join the squad and go down there.”
