Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will speak to the media on Friday morning (10am) as he gives his press conference ahead of Manchester United's trip to face Newcastle in the Premier League.

The United manager will be speaking for the first time since his side were humiliated 6-1 at home by Tottenham Hotspur before the international break with his future at the club possibly one topic of discussion.

It will also mark the first time Solskjaer has spoken since the summer transfer window closed with the United manager set to be quizzed on his deadline day activity which saw the club sign four new players.

Solskjaer could give early team news for the trip to St James' Park with club captain Harry Maguire under fire again following his latest horror show while away on international duty. Maguire was sent off during England's loss to Denmark on Wednesday.
