Man Utd: Solskjaer insists title race isn't over yet
Amad is set for more minutes tonight when Manchester United take on Real Sociedad in the second leg of their Europa League last 32 tie. The Red Devils take a strong 4-0 advantage into the meeting, having scored four away goals in Turin last week.

Brandon Williams could be handed some rare minutes at right-back, with Timothy Fosu-Mensah now off the books after his January move to Bayer Leverkusen.
Alex Telles will get the nod ahead of Luke Shaw at left-back, as he looks to put pressure on the first-choice Englishman.
At the heart of defence, Axel Tuanzebe and Eric Bailly are expected to start in place of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
Tuanzebe has struggled to build on his exception display against Paris Saint-Germain in this season's Champions League group stages.

Meanwhile, Bailly has been trying to move ahead of Lindelof in the pecking order with injuries halting his progress.
In midfield Fred and Nemanja Matic are expected to get the nod at the base of midfield.
Solskjaer has already confirmed that Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek and Edinson Cavani will all still be absent.
“They'll still be missing,” explained the United boss. “They've not joined training so they won't be ready. No.
"Paul has been outside on the grass and is starting to step up his recovery but he's not near the team for this game.”

In more exciting news, Solskjaer admitted that both Amad and Shola Shoretire could be involved for United.
“It'll be more or less the same squad that we had against Newcastle,” added Solskjaer.
“Hannibal [Mejbri] is injured for about a month. Amad and Shola will, of course, be involved. They are in the squad but I am not going to tell you if they are starting or not.”
Amad is expected to get at least 30 minutes from the bench, with Daniel James and Marcus Rashford expected to start on the wings.
There could be a rare start for Juan Mata too in the hole, with Mason Greenwood expect to lead the line.
Expected Man Utd XI (4-2-3-1): Henderson; Williams, Tuanzebe, Bailly, Telles; Fred, Matic; James, Mata, Rashford; Greenwood.
