Manchester United fans have urged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to give Axel Tuanzebe a fair opportunity in the first-team next season.
The English defender has impressed for United throughout pre-season and now supporters are keen to see him given a chance in the squad against Chelsea next week.
United face Frank Lampard's side on the opening day of the Premier League season but it remains to be seen who will start the game at the centre of defence.
Solskjaer remains keen on signing a new centre back with Harry Maguire a top target for the club, but fans think Tuanzebe deserves a chance regardless of his potential arrival.
While many agree he deserves to, at least, be on the bench next week, some fans even think Tuanzebe is already a better prospect than the Leicester defender.
Big claim
Tuanzebe is going to be better than Maguire

Gravy
If we don't get Maguire I pray to God we see a partnership of Lindelof and Tuanzebe. Tuanzebe is absolute gravy. And I liked Pogba and Fred together.

Alternative
If Maguire deal is not sorted out, Tuanzebe and Victor starts against Chelsea

Sensible
We need Maguire this season for sure, him and Lindelof will be natural first choice. But the season is long and I won't be surprised if our best CB next summer will be Tuanzebe. A wonderful talent. #MUFC
