LASK v Man United: What has been said?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have no complaints if the season was cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic as his side prepare to line up in an empty stadium.
The United boss said: “I would understand yes, under the circumstances.
“It’s up to the experts to decide and the main concern must be the health of the general public and the decision that will be made we’ll back.
“The players are focused and just concentrated on the job. Of course, these are difficult circumstances – not just for football, but in the whole society.

“So, for us, we just have to do what we’re told and get on with the game if the authorities think that’s what we should do.
“We are going to have to create our own atmosphere within the team, within the game.
“They are used to training with no spectators anyway and we do have some behind closed doors friendlies at times.
“I am in no doubt that my players are focused and ready to perform, even if there’s no spectators there.”
