Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained Luke Shaw's substitution during victory over Leeds United.

Shaw made way for Alex Telles around the hour-mark and headed straight for the dressing room.

It would appear that both Shaw and Scott McTominay could miss the midweek Carabao Cup quarter-final at Everton, as the Reds look to knock out the in-form Toffees in front of 2,000 of their own fans at Goodison Park on Wednesday.

When asked if they were doubts, he replied: “Yeah, I would think so. Luke has been ill for a few days and was only passed fit this morning. He didn't train yesterday.

“Scott, it seemed like a groin issue. I don't know. Hopefully, it won't be too long as he's not had any muscle injuries before. But I don't know how quickly he will recover."
