Manchester United fans delighted with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decision vs Chelsea

Manchester United fans are excited to see Mason Greenwood possibly operate as a central striker after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made five changes to his team to face Chelsea.

David de Gea, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford have all come back into the starting XI. The biggest omission is up front, with Anthony Martial named as a substitute despite the absence of Edinson Cavani through injury.

Daniel James is rewarded for his fine form with another starting berth, leaving Greenwood and Rashford as the most natural options through the middle.

United fans are hopeful of seeing Greenwood lead the line, though Rashford has more experience playing as a number nine.

Solskjaer will be delighted to welcome back McTominay in midfield after he picked up an injury in United's 4-0 first-leg win over Sociedad 10 days ago.

Though Chelsea are unbeaten since Thomas Tuchel's arrival at the end of January, Solskjaer has already bested his German counterpart this season.

United got their European campaign off to the perfect start in Group H when they beat Paris Saint-Germain away from home on matchday one in the Champions League.

Solskjaer's side remain unbeaten away from home for over a year in the Premier League and will hope for another positive result at Stamford Bridge.
