Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Max Taylor is an "inspiration" for his Manchester United teammates.

Solskjaer selected Taylor in his squad to face Astana on Thursday, just a year after he was diagnosed with cancer.

"It's a fantastic story, to see him coming back," Solskjaer said. "I met Max very early after I got the job and to have seen his journey back to full fitness and the way he's conducted himself, and it's something he'll always have with him.

"He's been through something no one should have to go through but he's come through the other end.

"He's an inspiration for all the players. You can see when he's out on the pitch there's no fear anymore, he's had fear in his life, when you're on the football pitch you should enjoy yourself and I hope we can see him progress in his career. It's a chance for us to give him extra motivation as well."
