Manchester United are still in talks with several clubs over loan moves for Jesse Lingard and Brandon Williams, and could allow Facundo Pellistri to go out on a short-term deal.
Lingard, who is a target for West Ham, and Williams have been on the fringes of the first team this season and struggling for game time.
United are open to keep both of them for the rest of the season due to the specific demands of the pandemic, and Solskjaer says any move must be appropriate for the club and the players.

‘They are still part of the club, part of the squad, and no contract has been struck for any players who are still going out,’ the United boss said.
‘A lot of clubs have shown interest in our players, so we’ll see what happens. It’s important that we pay attention to our desires and plans, but the players too of course because they are the people of Man United and players through and through. ‘
Pellistri joined United for £ 9million from Uruguayan side Penarol in November and has been coaching with the first-team squad while playing for the under-21 players.

Solskjaer is willing to let the right-handed 19-year-old witch go on loan to Spain to experience the first team. However, 18-year-old goalkeeper Amad Diallo will stay at United as he pushes for a superstar after arriving from Atalanta earlier this month after completing his £ 37m move.
‘There have been discussions with a number of clubs with an interest in Facundo going out on loan and maybe that’s something that will allow us to do. We want him to have top-notch football, ‘Solskjaer said.
‘With Amad, it’s a different scene. He’s got a good training system and program, he’s doing well and it won’t be too long until I can get him into the squad. ‘
