Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has tipped Shola Shoretire for a bright future after the teenager became the club's youngest-ever player in Europe.

Having made his debut as a substitute in the win against Newcastle last Sunday, forward Shoretire displaced Norman Whiteside as the youngest player to represent United in European competition by coming on against Real Sociedad on Thursday aged 17 years and 23 days.

It was back to training for the youngster after his big night, working out alongside Harry Maguire, Donny van de Beek and fellow youngster, 18-year-old Amad Diallo, as United prepared for their Premier League trip to Thomas Tuchel's revitalised Chelsea on Sunday.

Solskjaer believes the race for the Premier League top four will go down to the wire as they sit ten points behind leaders Manchester City.

Second-placed United head to the Etihad Stadium for a Manchester derby clash on March 7 but before then they have back-to-back fixtures away to London clubs, with Sunday's match followed by Wednesday's game with Crystal Palace.

"We've got Chelsea just behind us, we've got City away in front of us," said Solskjaer.

"Of course we can't let them run further away if we have ambitions of catching them and we can't give Chelsea too much hope to catch us either."

City, United, Leicester and West Ham are currently in the top four but a clutch of teams, including Chelsea and champions Liverpool, harbour ambitions of dislodging them.

"I don't think the positions will be decided early," said Solskjaer. "With this season as well, it's unpredictable.

"We've seen teams going through bad phases then a run and then who knows what's going to happen with injuries, with how players react to the circumstances."
