That's what Charlie Nicholas, a Sky Sports expert, says.
A tight match between United and Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Monday night (19.30), Liverpool in the Premier League one week Sunday and Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League 16 Solskjaer suffered two major injuries.
The Norwegian revealed that forward Anthony Martial and offensive midfielder Lingard would remain unavailable until three weeks after being injured in the first leg leg in their PSG first leg match earlier this week. at PSG, beaten 2-0 by the Red Devils.
The duo will certainly miss clashes with Chelsea and Liverpool, but hopes to return for the trip to Paris.
Solskjaer suffered his first failure as United's interim manager, while his French opponents were previously undefeated in his first 11 games, all competitions including 10 were won.
Alexis Sanchez is Martial's natural substitute as a winger, but he has endured a miserable spell at Old Trafford since arriving at Arsenal 13 months ago. He scored only five goals in 37 appearances.
The Chilean will probably have a chance, as will the striker Lukaku, who plays the second violin with Rashford since the arrival of Solskjaer.
Solskjaer explained: "It's a chance for all who play, be it Alexis, Romelu or Angel [Gomes].
"Anthony and Jesse have done very well for us, they play a vital role in the offensive parts, Romelu and Alexis have different skills, so we need to melt a team for Monday now."
And regular Sky Sports player Nicholas, formerly Arsenal and Celtic striker, suggested that Rashford and Lukaku could be a solution for the acting leader.
The Scotsman, however, expects the Algerian and particularly influential Paul Pogba to miss Lingard's disinterested movement in the last third.
Asked about the debate on which de Martial and Lingard we will miss the most, Nicholas explained: "I would say more, Lingard. Martial is a better footballer, but I like the midfielders, the people who can run with the ball and pbad the ball, but I also like the players who can run, it's so hard to always trust that.
"They can do five points and never get a pbad, but they make the sixth and that could be the difference in the game.
"I think Lingard will miss them a little more than Martial. They will miss the options. The options are vital.
"For the moment, Sanchez is still not right. For this reason, you need faster badistance.
"Will Ole have the audacity to come back to old Manchester United, when he plays, with two top and one behind?" It will be interesting to see how he adapts to that.
"When you have the midfielder that they have, [Nemanja] Matic is the strongest of both hands, Pogba is better when he is higher and Lingard is working on him, because Lingard makes room for the others and he lets people go to the ball and he will run.
"When Pogba is at its best, it's usually Rashford or Lingard [he wants to pbad to]These are usually his two targets because they are quick to see things and see the space behind.
"When you have Sanchez for the moment, he is no longer the warrior he was.
"He likes to hold the left in his arms then enter and play a pbad and he gives it at a very good price.
"They will miss these two, no doubt."
