(Reuters) - Manchester United will be without Daniel James for Thursday's Europa League group stage opener after the winger suffered an injury in the weekend Premier League win over Leicester City, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Wednesday.
With three league goals this season, Welshman James is United's leading scorer alongside Marcus Rashford but the 21-year-old has joined team mates Paul Pogba , Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw on the treatment table.
"Diogo is back. Jesse is back, which is great. He had a bad time when he was with England but, hopefully, we'll get him on the pitch to try to kick-start his season again." "Obviously David signed his contract and now we've got him maybe we should keep on playing him," Solskjaer said. Mason Greenwood and Axel Tuanzebe are also set to make the starting lineup as Solskjaer opts for youth while midfielder Fred, 26, is set to make his first start of the season after coming on in the second half of the 1-0 win over Leicester.
