United showed they were in dire need of a creative player like Maddison during a shock 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The 20-time champions of England have struggled against deep-lying defences for a few years now and do not have a typical No 10 who can provide incision.
Maddison would offer that in a 4-2-3-1 formation for Solskjaer’s side which would make the task tougher for lesser sides visiting Old Trafford.
Man Utd possible line-up with James Maddison: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Pogba; James, Maddison, Rashford; Martial.
