Here are the headlines from Manchester United’s night on Monday, February 1.
United to add Jones and Diallo to the first team
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that Phil Jones will join United’s first team squad before the second half of the season.
Jones has been absent so far due to lingering knee problems, but is back in contention to appear for the rest of the season.
“I can confirm that no one will come in, so don’t stay up late,” Solskjaer confirmed at his press conference on Monday. “Phil has been recovering from a knee injury, an operation he had, and is working hard to be available again. He will be listed and hopefully will regain his fitness sooner rather than later and be available to play.” “

Meanwhile, new signing Amad Diallo will make his first-team debut later this month. United signed Diallo shortly after the summer transfer window, but were unable to officially reveal him until the January window opened.
Solskjaer the transfer deadline day
Solskjaer confirmed that United will not sign any transfers by the deadline.
The January window has focused on United’s spending, as expected ahead of its opening, with a number of young and reserve players unloaded, including Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Jesse Lingard, Marcos Rojo and possibly Sergio Romero.
Solskjaer summed up United’s window at his press conference on Monday. “We have made decisions that we feel have been good for people and also for us,” he explained.
“With the young players advancing, with Garner, Chong, Mengi, Pellistri, having the opportunity to play more football has been important to us and our group is a very close-knit group, we don’t have too many players in excess and hopefully Jesse too. he can get going and play well at West Ham. “
Solskjaer on Diallo and Hugill’s promise
Solskjaer says Joe Hugill shouldn’t have let Diallo take a penalty in United Under-23’s 6-3 win over Liverpool on Saturday.
Diallo scored twice in the victory, while Hugill scored four goals, and Solskjaer spoke positively about both as they push for inclusion in the senior team.
Manchester United missed multiple chances to beat Arsenal on Saturday night, drawing 0-0 at the Emirates Stadium.
Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford were guilty of wasting opportunities as United are now three points behind league leaders Man City after having played one more game.

“We are going to give him time to adjust and continue to show his skills, improving, getting used to England and our style,” Solskjaer said when asked about Diallo’s chances in first-team football.
“If we went from that game, I would pick Joe Hugill – he scored four goals, he should have taken the penalty and scored five instead of giving it to Amad, so Amad scored two!
“But Amad has entered and is doing well in training, he has a very good and tight technique, he will open up the defenses, so I don’t think it will be long before he participates in a team of the day.”
