Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has gone to Kazakhstan with the kids!
Manchester United qualified for the knockout phase of the Europa League after they won their last group fixture.
With our place in the next round secured, Solskjaer has selected as many as 14 teenagers in the squad for the clash against FK Astana.
Meanwhile, Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna have stayed behind in Manchester to train the first-team players who are being given a rest from match day duties in order top prepare them for the Premier League fixture against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Solskjaer has had to deal with enough injuries to date this season and it’s a wise decision not to risk any of his first team stars when United are already in the Europa League knockouts.

So much for a rest!
