Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to navigate a host of selection issues when West Brom travel to Manchester United on Saturday (8pm).

Manchester United have had their fair share of problems to contend with since the start of the season and now Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has more on his plate following a hectic international break. The Norwegian is already under pressure after back-to-back defeats to Arsenal and Istanbul Basaksehir but United responded impressively with a 3-1 win at Everton at Goodison Park.

Now the Red Devils are looking to build on that when strugglers West Brom are in town this weekend, with three points on the agenda.

Yet if this season has shown anything, it's that no team should be taken lightly behind closed doors.

United have already been on the receiving end of some embarrassing home defeats at the hands of Crystal Palace and Tottenham this term and they'll want to avoid a repeat of West Brom's last visit, a 1-0 defeat to Darren Moore's side in 2018.

Therefore Solskjaer will be desperate to ensure his team approach the potential banana skin with the right attitude, as United look to eat up the ground on the top four.

Man Utd boss Solskjaer has a number of injury problems ahead of the West Brom game

There are already doubts over the availability of captain Harry Maguire, who suffered bruising to his foot during England's 4-0 win over Iceland.

Centre-back partner Victor Lindelof has also been struggling with a back problem picked up while away with Sweden.

Edinson Cavani has returned a positive test for COVID-19, meaning he is now set to begin a period of isolation. He will miss the match against West Brom.

Frustration surrounding a potential triple blow though has been eased by the news that Alex Telles is finally ready for action.
