REUTERS: Manchester United's Europa League match at Astana is the ideal opportunity for the Premier League club to field youngsters in a top level game as they have already qualified for the knockout stages, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Wednesday.

"Axel , Luke , Jesse ... have not played too many games. It's a great chance to give Lee Grant his first start for the club. United narrowly beat Astana 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford when Solskjaer fielded a second string side and the Norwegian said he expected a similar game at the Astana Arena."I think this is going to be an even, tight game," he added."We have some young players. If they're going to learn to play these games I think it's a great start for them.

United's central defender Max Taylor is expected to play - 12 months after the 19-year-old had chemotherapy for testicular cancer - and Solskjaer said his comeback was a"fantastic story".
