Karna Solskjaer was brought on for her Manchester United debut with three minutes remaining at Bridgwater

Karna Solskjaer, daughter of Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar, made her Red Devils debut in their 2-0 Women's FA Cup fourth round win at Bridgwater.

Her father, the former United forward and manager, and mother were among the capacity crowd of 2,500 to watch the 19-year-old come off the bench.

Her late introduction came after the tie was firmly in her side's grasp.

A first-half own goal by Charlotte Buxton and late second from Ella Toone sent the top-flight side through.

Manchester United enjoyed 69% possession and had 23 shots, 11 of which were on target, but the third-tier side - who have only been in existence for six months - defended stoutly.
