Ole Gunnar Solskjaer press conference: Manchester United manager provides transfer update on Bruno Fernandes and discusses Rashford injury blow

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has once again been quizzed on Manchester United's possible transfer business - including Bruno Fernandes' proposed move to Old Trafford.

The Portugal and Sporting midfielder is expected to join the Red Devils before the close of the January window in a week-and-a-half.

Solskjaer has so far remained tight-lipped on United's dealings in the market, and he again refused to divulge any details concerning Fernandes when asked on Tuesday morning.

The United boss said at his pre-Burnley press conference: "You’re never 100 per cent sure something is going to happen until it happens, so we’ll update you."

Solskjaer was also quizzed on Marcus Rashford's huge injury blow, with the forward facing a lengthy lay-off after suffering a stress fracture in last week's FA Cup third-round replay defeat of Wolves.

There has been confusion over whether the 22-year-old had already been carrying the problem but the United boss denies that was the case.

He added: "He's not had that injury before, no. He complained a little bit after Burnley [on December 28], he felt it the first time, and we managed him as well as we could then.

"He had some days off for treatment, was taken off in games and suddenly this was a new injury. He didn't have any injuries before then."

On more academy kids being handed chances

"It might be too early for them. Of course Mason [Greenwood] is going to get more chances now.

"Juan [Mata] will have to step up again. There’ll be more chances for ones in the squad, we know we’re stretched for numbers but we’ll cope with that."

On fan discontent

"You can look back at history and of course we know we’re not where we want to be, and should be, and historically have been. It's just down to us now to work better.

"I’ve been here 13 months, my experience with the players we’ve brought in have been good so no complaints whatsoever."

On Burnley

"We played them three-and-a-half weeks ago and had to work really hard to get the points. They defended really well and every time we play against Sean Dyche's team we have to earn it.

"Last season here was the first time I saw the players coming back from a setback; we were 2-0 down with seven minutes to go and got back with two goals.

"We have to approach this game as if they’ve won five in a row. They’re always giving you a tough game."
