Manchester United manager Solskjaer reveals his plans for Greenwood, Chong, Gomes and Garner

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has suggested he expects the majority of Manchester United's talented young players to remain at the club next season, despite the temptation to send some of them on loan.

Solskjaer gave Mason Greenwood his full Premier League debut on the final day of the season while Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and James Garner all featured at least once for the first team following the Norwegian's arrival.

"I have to say it would be nice for them to have a full season somewhere and play," Solskjaer told MUTV. "But then again, maybe the best place for them would be here.

"When you train with the best players of the world in this environment, we've got a history of making them the best.

"But we've got loads of examples of players being out for a year on loan and coming back men. So let's see what we decide with these boys but I can see most of them staying here and getting chances next season."

Solskjaer's decision to start Greenwood against Cardiff was a popular one with supporters and United's manager knows any young player will get the fans' full backing.

"I think they (the players) know deep down, because it is ingrained in our history and tradition that they will get a chance and they know that they will get the backing from the fans," Solskjaer said.

"There comes an expectation with media and social media, everything now is so blown out of proportion with the expectation on these young players but it's important for us as staff to keep them grounded."
