Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Joe Hugill is on his radar.

Asked about Amad Diallo's first team debut, Solskjaer said today Hugill was closer after scoring four goals for the U23s in their 6-3 defeat of Liverpool on Saturday.

On Diallo, he said, "We're gonna give him the time to settle in and keep showing his skills, improving, get used to England and our way, if we go from that game, I'd pick Joe Hugill. Scored four goals, should have taken the penalty and got five instead of giving it to Amad, so Amad got two.

"But Amad has come in and does well in training, he's got very good, close technique, he'll open up defences, so I don't think it's gonna be too long before he's involved in a matchday squad."
