Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes faith in their own ability will be key to the progress of his young side.

With Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford both struggling for fitness while midfielder Paul Pogba is carrying an ankle problem, United's options are again stretched ahead of Monday night's Premier League match against Arsenal.

Teenager Mason Greenwood could be handed another chance to impress. After scoring in the Europa League win over Astana, the 17-year-old found the net in the Carabao Cup against Rochdale.

"You could see against Astana and Rochdale, the boys want to impress, they want to do well and maybe they rushed a finish at times. It's getting there."

United host Arsenal on Monday night looking to respond from a 2-0 defeat at West Ham in their last Premier League match, which saw them drop to eighth in the table.

Solskjaer, though, pays little attention to how things are viewed from outside Old Trafford.

"We are focused on what we have to do and that is to keep improving," the United manager said at a press conference.

"It has always been the same. When I was a player it was always Man United with the headlines, which is a great position to be in. We wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
