Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has left Cristiano Ronaldo out of his squad to face West Ham in Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup tie.

Ronaldo made it 1-1 for the Red Devils against the Hammers just three days ago, before Jesse Lingard curled in a superb winner.

However, he will be rested for today’s match, as Solskjaer has decided to rotate his squad.

David de Gea, who saved Mark Noble’s stoppage-time penalty and Paul Pogba have all been left out too.

That trio were all missing as the rest of the United squad arrived at the Hyatt Hotel in Manchester’s city centre on Wednesday, September 22 afternoon.

Solskjaer is expected to give many of his fringe players their first taste of football this season.

Dean Henderson is in line to make his first start of the campaign in the absence of De Gea, while Alex Telles and Phil Jones have both been included in the squad.
