Manchester United fans think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has missed a perfect opportunity with team vs Leicester

Manchester United fans think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should have used his starting XI against Leicester to involve some youth players in the Premier League.

Solskjaer had already confirmed that Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba were definitely out of the clash with Leicester, but he only made one change from the United side that drew at Southampton with Nemanja Matic replacing Pogba.

Luke Shaw also missed out, with Ashley Young retaining his place. However, fellow doubt Aaron Wan-Bissaka was named in the side after overcoming the injury that forced him to withdraw from England duty.

The biggest selection decision for Solskjaer came in midfield, with Matic getting the nod ahead of Fred, who was named on the bench for the first time this season.

But with Mason Greenwood, Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong all among the substitutes, fans felt the Solskjaer could have included at least one of the trio to inject some much-needed energy into the side.
