He has found himself back in the first team at Old Trafford this season and scored the final goal in Saturday's 4-1 over Newcastle.

Solskjaer said: "Jesse has come back to us after a great spell at West Ham. He showed his qualities, he's got back into the England squad and he's scoring goals for England.
"We really what to see the best of Jesse this season and we hope to see him, we support him, and we hope to keep him here with us.
