Edinson Cavani and Fred weren’t included in United’s squad for their visit to Leicester in the Premier League at the weekend.

“I have got many good players. Fred, Edinson Cavani, you miss them” Solskjaer said after that defeat when asked about United’s performance.

I am not making excuses for the team I put out there, they are top footballers and we have not produced,”

The pair missed that game against the Foxes as they returned from international duty with Uruguay and Brazil

But both players have now returned to full training and they’ll be available for selection against Atalanta.

Which will take part at  Carrington Training Ground on October 19, 2021 in Manchester, England.

Amad and Elanga both trained

After making a full recovery from a thigh muscle injury that prevented him from joining Dutch side Feyenoord on loan this summer,

Amad has been in full training for a week now and he was pictured training with the first team again ahead of the Atalanta clash.

Anthony Elanga, 19, was another youngster that reported to Carrington on Tuesday for United’s preparation for the game.

Elanga made his full debut for United against Leicester last season

But he’s only recorded 17 first team minutes under Solskjaer this term despite having been in prolific form in the academy

Scoring four goals in four games in the Premier League 2.

The young player has also taken part of Old Trafford training ahead the Champions League

Solskjaer’s message to McTominay

Solskjaer started Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic in the double pivot against Leicester

Which meant McTominay was dropped to the bench.

That decision from the United boss was perhaps surprising and one could perceive it as a message to McTominay.

When he’s been available and injury-free, McTominay has started in five games out of a possible seven in the Premier League and Champions League

Which suggests Solskjaer clearly trusts the 24-year-old who he views as ‘instrumental’ on the pitch.

Was McTominay’s omission against Leicester a warning against complacency

Though? We’ll find out with the Atalanta team news.
