Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed his side will be without two defenders as they take on West Ham United in the FA Cup.

The Red Devils will be hoping to progress in the competition, as it is one of their only chances of silverware this season.

But Solskjaer will have to do without Eric Bailly and Phil Jones, along with midfielder Paul Pogba.

"Eric is getting better. He's still not available for the Cup game tomorrow we don't think," said Solskjaer to reporters.

"He's been out on the grass and training and we'll make a decision tomorrow. I don't think he'll be involved.

"Everyone [else] is available and trained this morning, apart from Phil [Jones] who's still out.

Solskjaer added about Jones's recovery: "I wish to get him back into the squad as quick as I can.

"He's a solid citizen and one of those you can trust. He's been working so hard to get back, [he's] had a couple of setbacks but, hopefully, we can get some good use [out of him]."
