Bruno Fernandes could make his Manchester United debut against Wolves on Saturday, says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Fernandes joined United from Sporting Lisbon on Thursday, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract at Old Trafford with the option to extend for a further year.
United could pay up to £68m for the Portugal international, who scored 63 goals in 137 games for Sporting, and Solskjaer says he could make his debut for the club against Wolves, live on Sky Sports Premier League.

"He's fit enough to play and he will definitely be involved in the squad," the United boss said. "He has had of course a few hectic days now, and even his daughter's third birthday yesterday.
"I don't know how much he'll be involved, but he'll be in the squad."
Fernandes to wear No 18 shirt
Fernandes will wear the No 18 shirt for United recently vacated by former club captain Ashley Young, who left to join Serie A side Inter Milan earlier this month.
Before Young it was worn by Frazier Campbell and, most famously, United legend Paul Scholes.
"He's a similar type of player [to Scholes] in skills. He could do absolutely everything as well, could Scholesy, so there's no pressure!" Solskjaer joked.
"We've followed Bruno not just for months, but for years now. He's just developed more and more, matured, and he's going to be a fantastic Manchester United player."
De Gea to make 300th PL appearance
David de Gea will make his 300th Premier League appearance for United if he lines up against Wolves.
The Spain goalkeeper will become the 36th player to make 300 appearances in the competition for a single club, and the eighth to do so for United.
"He ranks at the top. He has been unbelievable for the club," Solskjaer said. "You could see on Wednesday night [against Manchester City] what he means for us. He's a presence at the back and a top human being as well."
