Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a near full-strength squad to choose from for Friday's crunch FA Cup clash against Arsenal.

Manchester United travel to the Emirates searching for an eighth win on the spin since Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in the hotseat last month.

The Norwegian will have Luke Shaw available again after the defender missed last week's win over Brighton through illness.

Shaw was named in the starting line-up against the Seagulls, only to drop out of the starting XI after being taken ill in the warm-up.

Chris Smalling is available again but Marouane Fellaini (calf) and Marcos Rojo (knee) are still sidelined.

"He (Luke Shaw) was ill, he just fell ill the night before [so he’s ok]," said Solskjaer in his pre-match press conference

“Smalling started training again so it’s only Rojo and Fellaini are the two I can’t call upon in this game.”

Solskjaer confirmed Alexis Sanchez will be handed a rare chance to impress against the Gunners.
