Maguire is expected to shore up a defence that conceded 54 Premier League goals last season after becoming the world's most expensive defender following an 80 million move from Leicester.
But Lindelof, after some unconvincing moments earlier in his United career, has emerged as the obvious man to partner Maguire, finding a new level of fitness and consistency that has impressed his manager.
"I hope Victor and Harry don't give me a reason to change. No injuries, suspensions or lack of concentration," said Solskjaer, after the new partnership flourished in a 4-0 victory over Chelsea on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
