TRAINING IN PROGRESS STORY: Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has refused to be drawn on speculation linking club captain Ashley Young with a move to Serie A leaders Inter Milan this month and hinted the full back will be staying at Old Trafford.
Speaking at a news conference on Friday (January 10) ahead of United's weekend game against Norwich, Solskjaer said he would hold talks with Young in the coming days.
Solskjaer also confirmed midfielder Jesse Lingard has been ruled out of Norwich's visit after playing with an illness against Manchester City in the League Cup on Tuesday (January 7), but Harry Maguire could be back.
United are heading into the weekend five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, while Norwich are at the bottom of the league table.
