Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he hasn't had a moment's regret at allowing players leave Manchester United last summer, despite seeing his squad stretched to breaking point by injuries.
United allowed Romelu Lukaku to join Inter Milan for just over £70million and he has 18 goals in 26 games for the Serie A title challengers, while Solskjaer's forward line is now depleted thanks to the injury to Marcus Rashford.
Solskjaer also let Alexis Sanchez join Inter on loan, which further reduced his options in attack, but the United boss insists he has no regrets at the business that was done during the summer transfer window.
"I have not thought 'Oh, I wish I had kept him'. When you decide to let players go it is because of different reasons and some of those we let go were not right for the culture I was trying to build.
"That is just my belief and that is why we kept the players here with the right attitude. We know they will run through a brick wall for the club and for each other - not everyone did."
United also lost Ander Herrera on a free transfer in the summer but are now severely stretched in midfield with Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay out injured.
"I am not worried about injuries because if we do have worries I am sure the officials will look at the pitch and wait. I am sure it's safe," he said.
