Ole Gunnar Solskjaer drops Manchester United team news hint ahead of Chelsea Carabao Cup tie

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted at who will be playing a part in the Carabao Cup tie against Chelsea on Wednesday.

United have won their last two games against Partizan Belgrade and Norwich with the likes of Anthony Martial returning from injury.

But Solskjaer may see the League Cup tie as a chance to mix things up, with teenagers Brandon Williams and James Garner set to play a part at Stamford Bridge.

Williams made his debut in the previous round against Rochdale before starting against AZ Alkmaar and Partizan in the Europa League.

Garner, meanwhile, made his full debut against Partizan and appeared as a substitute against Norwich.

"I would think so," Solskjaer told reporters when asked whether the duo would be involved.

"Jimmy played 10-15 minutes [against Norwich] and was excellent, calmed us down and made some good decisions when we wanted to see the game out.

"We have not made a decision on who is going to play, but you will probably see the two of them.

"Character will be revealed in tough times, but I think they have done excellent, the young kids.

"I can't give them any more responsibility and I couldn't be any more happy with many of the youngsters.

"We know it's been tough and we know that we have asked a lot of them because Paul [Pogba], Luke [Shaw], Anthony [Martial], loads of other players that have been injured, and for us the youngsters have stepped up in a difficult period.

"But in the end they will be stronger for it."
