Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly wants to give Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe a chance to prove themselves after Manchester United’s terrible start to the season. The Red Devils have sent in 11 goals in three Premier League games, raising serious concerns among the coaching staff.
Before the international break, United were thrashed 6-1 at Old Trafford in a further loss for Solskjaer and are now ready to act.
Victor Lindelof faces a fight to keep his place at the full-back and could find himself on the bench for the trip to Newcastle this weekend.
Meanwhile, Harry Maguire is having a difficult time following the events in Mykonos earlier this summer.
The United captain was sent off last night by England after two yellow cards against Denmark.

The young defender has struggled with injuries last year, but now he’s looking to put it all behind him.
“I was always breaking down from injury, but I trust the rehab team,” Tuanzebe said.
“I’ve been working closely with John Davin and he’s helped me a lot, so this time I want to start shooting.
“There have been various injuries. It has been unfortunate with the injury times and almost all of them there was nothing I could have done about it. Good to be back, I’m thankful to be back to have some games between the guys.
Maguire seems keen to hold his place in the short term future, but if his form doesn’t improve, Bailly and Tuanzebe seem poised to appear particularly with Lindelof out of shape as well.

Gareth Southgate jumped to Maguire’s defense last night after his horror show at Wembley, but pundit Steve Nicol thinks he needs to play to get out of United’s bad form.
“The easiest thing would be to drop it,” he said.
“But as United is now, they really need a somewhat decent Harry Maguire.
“When he signed for them he looked like a leader, he looked like a captain, and his play on the field was excellent.
But since the shutdown and reboot, there have been question marks about him.
“I don’t think Ole has a choice. I think if Ole leaves him, that will put even more pressure on him. “
