Solskjaer’s options could be bolstered

United were off their best on Sunday night, but secured a 1-0 win over West Ham at Old Trafford to retake second place in the Premier League and further boost their hopes of Champions League qualification.
That win closed out a big week for United after beating Manchester City 2-0 last Sunday before drawing the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie with AC Milan 1-1 at home on Thursday.
United's relentness season continues with another key week ahead: the Red Devils must get a result in the second leg of their Europa tie with Milan given the Rossoneri took an away goal back to Italy. Solskjaer's side then follow that up with an FA Cup quarter-final away to Leicester City, who sit third in the League table.
United have been short of options in attack and midfield, but Marcus Rashford returned from injury against West Ham - and Solskjaer says the likes of Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba, Donny van de Beek and David De Gea could all be available in Milan.
"Injury-wise I hope that we have four or five players back for that game," he said. "Very likely that Edinson and Anthony are fit. Donny hopefully as well.
"Paul even might make the trip and David is back from isolation, so that's more numbers.
"You could see today we even had two goalkeepers on the bench (Lee Grant and Nathan Bishop), so we need them back of course."
