Manchester United starlet Mason Greenwood suffered a swollen ankle after Monday's draw with Southampton, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed.

Oriol Romeu escaped punishment during the 2-2 draw for terrible tackle on the 18-year-old striker.

Solskjaer added that Luke Shaw - who also suffered an ankle injury against the Saints - will also be assessed ahead of Thursday's visit to Selhurst Park.

"I'll give Luke as much time as possible – him and Mason, their ankles are swollen and a bit blown up," Solskjaer told MUTV. "I'll give them as much recovery time as possible to give them a chance.

"Brandon should be fine, he has a gash over the eye but if he can see out of it, then...

"We've not trained obviously this morning [Wednesday] yet but we'll hopefully have two, maybe all three of them."

Asked about the Romeu tackle, Solskjaer added: "In the heat of the moment, he'll play on and the adrenaline gets you going, and then you get a little bit of reaction after.

"I said after the game that my ankles were a bit weak after many years of football. But obviously Mason carried on and I think it should have been looked upon by the referee, definitely."
