Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sends a quick alert to Harry Maguire in front of the Man Utd spot

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that Harry Maguire may not be joining his Manchester United team and insisted that the players who impressed the pre-season still have big roles to play.

The English international is about to undergo a medical examination and to complete his move to Old Trafford after Leicester City has finally agreed to sell for what will be a record deal for a defender.

He should line up alongside Victor Lindelof at the heart of the defense, but players like Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe performed well during United's excellent pre-season campaign, during which they won their five matches .

Solskjaer says that he has planned his team without thinking of potential newcomers, such as Maguire, and is still waiting for his existing players to play a key role in the coming season.

Asked about the impact of the transfer window on preparations, Solskjaer told Press Association: "I do not think that's a problem. Of course, as a club, we have goals and we work on a few cases, but as a coach and manager, when you go out on the field, you have to work with the ones you have.

"There may be wounds, suspensions, you can not think" And if he comes? "Or" And if it is sold? "You must work with those you have and what is the reality.

"I never said to myself," I'm going to play it but [another player] come ". Thus, all those who participated in the pre-season will have an important role to play. And most of them impressed.

Maguire's transfer fee will overshadow the £ 75m spent by Liverpool on Virgil van Dijk and Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed his imminent departure on Friday night.

He explained: "Fees have been agreed and it is our job to look to the future. It's an incredible deal, but if you look at the market, it changes. He is a first clbad player and a good man. He knows there is an interest and he has been very professional, but Harry or whoever will always have an evaluation. "
