Scott McTominay is line to return to the Manchester United squad for Sunday's clash with Watford .
The midfielder has been out since Boxing Day with a knee injury but could be back in the fold at Old Trafford on the weekend.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “I think he might be in the squad. I'm not surprised he's got back so quickly, because that's the type he is.
“He's a physical specimen. He's a leader, he never shirks a tackle and he brings everyone with him. He can sit with Nemanja Matic or Fred, or he can be one of the runners in midfield.
“We're talking about that today, that we don't have that many runs past the striker. He used to be a striker before, so he's used to being in the box.”
Meanwhile, Solskjaer believes Anthony Martial's hunger to improve will make the Frenchman a 20-goal striker this season.
Life started with a bang following his big-money move from Monaco to Manchester in 2015, but the 24-year-old frustrated after that breakthrough campaign due to his inconsistent performances.
Former United boss Jose Mourinho had been keen to sell Martial, but successor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer put his faith in a forward that is contracted until 2024 with the option of a further year.
That deal looks smart business 13 months on, with the striker taking his tally for the season to 14 goals with a fine leveller in Thursday's 1-1 draw at Club Brugge in the first leg of the Europa League round of 32 encounter.
Solskjaer knows a thing or two about scoring for United and backed the striker to comfortably surpass his previous season best of 17 registered in 2015-16.
"I think Anthony can step up, get a few more and get to the 20 mark, yeah, definitely," the United boss said, having referenced injured 19-goal forward Marcus Rashford.
"He's got quality of course. He's a very good finisher. He takes his chances really well, good technique in his finishing.
"He's good receiving the ball at times and dropping off. He can play almost like a false nine at times as well. Sometimes I'd like him to be stronger physically."
