The French teenager is yet to play under Solskjaer but has made three appearances in the Papa John’s Trophy this season for the U21s.

His debut in that competition came against Salford City, the League Two side co-owned by United legends Gary and Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Beckham.

Shoretire, meanwhile, has already made his Premier League debut, coming on as a late substitute in United’s 3-1 home win against Newcastle in February.

The 17-year-old has made two appearances under Solskjaer this season and is the recipient of the club’s young player of the year award.

Captain Harry Maguire is unlikely to feature in Poland due to the ankle injury he suffered against Aston Villa earlier this month.
