Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lifted the collective spirit of Manchester United supporters without signing a new player.
The Red Devils manager announced that fears of a long-term absence for Harry Maguire are overblown, saying the player has a minor injury.
The 26-year-old may even play at Norwich City on Saturday.

“He’s got a chance for tomorrow, it was a minor thing, I don’t know where the reports are coming from,” Solskjaer said, via The Manchester Evening News. “(The media) might’ve mistaken it for Harry Kane. He’s got a chance. He will go through training today and see how he reacts for tomorrow.”
Solskjaer says that Maguire fought through pain to play in the FA Cup last weekend.
“It’s not a surprise.. He’s a warrior and he wants to play. And if there’s a minor problem he’ll put himself up to play and that’s what he did against Wolverhampton.”
The manager also updated the status of Scott McTominay, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, and Eric Bailly. McTominay is out until February, while the other two are playing with the reserves Friday.
