The coronavirus outbreak has brought the sporting world to its knees, with nearly every major football league in world football currently banned until the virus disappears.
Premier League is no exception, and officials have been sending kits to players to ensure that all players are cleared of the disease should there be a return to action in the near future.
Speaking to MUTV, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said that players are carried out their respective programmes during the coronavirus crisis.
“The players have got individual programmes and they’ve got their own diets, of course, and this period could be used to work on something special, something specific for them and their roles and tasks,” Solskjaer said.
“I’ve been in the garden, with the kids, working on finishing and the strikers should be working on finishing or their movement. Most of the players have got good facilities and decent gardens so, hopefully, their wives and girlfriends will be able to put some passes and crosses in.” Solskjaer added.
The Norwegian manager admitted that he communicates every second with the players and coaching staff to ensure league progress this season.
“I keep in touch and communicate with the staff and the players. Of course, I’m used to seeing them every day for hours and hours, so it’s different.” Solskjaer said.
“I just keep in touch with them on WhatsApp groups and messages, and we plan for whenever we get back and what kind of sessions for when we do start. But it’s such an unknown and we don’t really have an idea and are not 100 per cent about when we’ll start.
“That’s the good thing now with technology and we’re lucky in that sense. We can keep in touch and see each other. We can send messages and get a reply quickly, and we can do the old-fashioned phone call sometimes and speak just on the phone. So we keep in touch regularly.” he added.
