The 25-year-old has been nothing short of exceptional since signing from Sporting Lisbon during the January transfer window.
And with a place in the last eight at stake, it’s unlikely that Solskjaer will choose to leave out his star asset.
Predicting United’s attack is trickier.
Tahith Chong recently came off the bench against Watford and it’s possible he’ll be thrown into the mix.
But it seems far more logical for Solskjaer to stick with Daniel James, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial.
United are set to be without four first-team players for the match in Belgium.

Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford remain sidelined through injury.
And the game has come too soon for young defensive duo Axel Tuanzebe and Timothy Fosu-Mensah.
Meanwhile, speaking ahead of the game, United boss Solskjaer singled out Brugge star Krepin Diatta as a threat.
“I know Diatta is back in, he is the most exciting player. He tries things, he has got the X-factor, fantastic pace and balance. Similar to Sadio Mane," said Solskjaer.
Solskjaer came close to working with Diatta in Norway.
But the forward left Molde, Solskjaer’s own club, before he took over there in 2017.
