“Jadon started the Tuesday game and we found the decision better to leave him here now and the chance to come on and make a difference if we need him to,” Solskjaer told Sky Sports ahead of kick-off.

Sancho was taken off in the first half of Manchester United’s Champions League encounter with Young Boys on Tuesday.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka was shown a straight red card and Solskjaer was forced to change his system, with United going on to lose 2-1.
