Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s track record of promising players game time at Manchester United is hit-and-miss to say the least.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Alexis [Sanchez] will come back in the summer and prove you all wrong,” the Norwegian commented in January 2020, before he was sold on a free transfer to Inter Milan six months later.<\/p>\n

In December 2019, a month before that Sanchez soundbite, Solskjaer also commented that Chris Smalling would ‘return’ from his loan spell at Roma, but he too remained in Italy permanently.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, after the club’s pre-season win over Wayne Rooney’s Derby County, in which Jesse Lingard came on as a second-half substitute, Solskjaer stated: “He’s still in my plans. I expect him at Man Utd at the start of the season.”<\/span><\/p>\n
