'He's stepping up his recovery and let's see how soon he'll be match-fit and available, ' said Solskjaer.
Solskjaer has named as many as nine academy players in his squad, with Luke Shaw and Jesse Lingard the only players who could be considered established first-team players in the starting eleven.
"He played centre midfield at times against Sheffield United and he has the energy and drive to do that".
"I know we've qualified but the mentality is to win the game and that's how we're going to prepare for it".
'Every player is allowed to be injured and Paul is working hard to be back.
"It's a fantastic story that has to be an inspiration for everyone", Solskjaer said about Taylor.
"Of course we've missed him when he's been away".

He's not really been able to play for us and, when we get him back, it'll be like a new world-class signing and world-class midfielder. He's a footballer and he's one of the best midfielders in the world. "I enjoyed training yesterday, I've enjoyed the trip with them".
It's reward for midfielder Galbraith's promising performances, not least the wonder goal he scored for the club's Under 21 side in an EFL Trophy victory over Doncaster Rovers in October. "Spurs? I can't say now, because I've not been home and seen him".
It is well known that Zinedine Zidane is interested in signing him for Real Madrid, and that there is mutual interest from the player, who has previously admitted that playing for Los Blancos would be a dream.
United could well have been returning home victorious had Tahith Chong not missed an open goal moments before Astana levelled.
"We've offered him a very good contract so the ball is in his court".
