Ole Gunnar Solskjaer determined to make it third time lucky for Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no fresh concerns to contend with heading into Sunday’s Europa League semi-final against Sevilla.

Luke Shaw, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe remain in Manchester as the defenders recover from injury.

Back-up goalkeeper Sergio Romero got the nod ahead of David De Gea for both of this month’s Europa League matches.

“I think Sergio is in a unique or special situation because he’s in a goalkeeping department with one of the best goalkeepers of the last 10 years, in the world,” Solskjaer said.

“David has been exceptional but it says everything about Sergio’s professionalism and his qualities that whenever he plays, he performs.

“Of course, he’s experienced, so he always knows how to prepare.

“He’s focused, his concentration is fantastic and he’s been a very, very good goalkeeper for us.

“He is a very good goalkeeper for us.”

Provisional squad

Romero, De Gea, Grant, Bishop, Dalot, Wan-Bissaka, Fosu-Mensah, Maguire, Lindelof, Mengi, Bailly, Williams, Laird, Fred, Matic, Fernandes, Pogba, Pereira, Galbraith, Garner, McTominay, Chong, James, Mata, Lingard, Greenwood, Rashford, Martial, Ighalo.
