First-team coaches Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna have also been excused the six-hour flight and will work with Solskjaer’s squad before Sunday’s Premier League encounter with Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Nicky Butt, United’s head of first-team development, will join Solskjaer on the trip to Astana.
