The manager said the England international duo were "brave enough to step up for their country" when they missed penalties in the Euro 2020 final
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer channelled a former president of the United States as he defended Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho ahead of Manchester United's first away Premier League game of the season.
While Rashford is out injured, Sancho could make his first appearance in front of a hostile crowd since missing a penalty for England in the Euro 2020 final shoot-out loss to Italy at Wembley.
Man Utd travel to Southampton on Sunday and, with a chance of a repeat of last week at Old Trafford where visiting Leeds fans sang Rashford and Sancho "let their country down", Solskjaer quoted Teddy Roosevelt as he spoke up for his players.
