Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed David de Gea will miss Manchester United‘s game against Leeds on Wednesday due to illness while Romelu Lukaku and Luke Shaw are “not ready”.
The Red Devils face the Championship side in Perth as part of their pre-season tour to Australia as they continue their preparations for the 2019-20 campaign.
De Gea and Lukaku have both been linked with moves away from Old Trafford this summer, with the Belgian said to be nearing a move to Inter while Solskjaer’s first-choice goalkeeper is still negotiating a new contract.
But the uncertainty surrounding the two players’ futures has nothing to do with their absences from the friendly, the Norwegian insisted.
“David just fell ill today, he didn’t feel right so we’ll wait for the Inter game with him. And they’re not ready the others [Lukaku, Shaw and Lee Grant], either,” Solskjaer told Man Utd’s official website ahead of the game.
