Mirror UK reports captain Harry Maguire is a serious doubt for the continental showpiece alongside the pair of Fred and Scott McTominay.

Speaking while giving an update on his squad's fitness, Solskjaer admitted Maguire is facing a race against time to be fit for the Villarreal meeting.

The Norwegian tactician further exuded confidence both Fred and McTominay could shake off their injury concerns to grace the tie, Solskjaer said:

"Unfortunately Scott had to come off and Fred doesn’t look great while he’s walking now. But we've got eight days so hopefully everyone will be available that was available today."

Despite being held to a disappointing 1-1 draw against Fulham on Tuesday, May 18, United look set to finish second behind league champions and rivals, Man City.

The Old Trafford-based side have just one league fixture to play to wind up their domestic campaign.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Wayne Rooney's son, Kai, has shown his intent to fit in the shoes of his legendary dad after staging a man-of-the-match performance during a recent match against Stoke City.

Kai scored a sensational hat-trick and set up three others to guide Man United's U11s to a stunning 6-3 win.

The youngster only signed for United's academy back in December 2020, following in the footsteps of Wayne. Wayne Rooney posted on Instagram after Kai put pen to paper.
