The 24-year-old has started just two games this season - in the Carabao Cup loss to West Ham and the Champions League defeat at Young Boys - and played five minutes in the Premier League as a substitute against Newcastle.
He looked annoyed during United's Champions League win over Villarreal on Wednesday when Solskjaer decided to leave him on the bench and bring on Jesse Lingard and Fred, but the United boss says he understands his disappointment.
Donny was ready to come on [against Villarreal], as all the players should be. I've probably been a substitute more than anyone in this club and you have to be ready all the time.
"I've not been very happy a few times, but that's just a decision the manager makes. Alex (Telles) was coming off as a left-back and Fred did that job well, so I understand the frustration.
"I manage a squad full of international footballers, competitive footballers who want to make a difference, want to play. They all want to be on the pitch, of course they do," Solskjaer told reporters on Friday.
This guy needs to play. I really feel for him.
