Ole Gunnar Solskjaer happy to resume training
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided a training update for the first time since the squad and staff returned to the Aon Training Complex.
As revealed by the club’s official site, the Norwegian believes that his players are in good shape as preparations continue for the potential return of the Premier League next month.
“We’re back in training which has been great. The boys have been fantastic, the weather’s been good and they’ve enjoyed it.”
He has expressed his joy at being back on the training ground. Having shown that the club can diligently follow safety procedures, Solskjaer is keen to move onto the next step.
The players have been divided into small groups of four or five and have been doing well. Solskjaer also confirmed that the players have looked sharp and that the morale is high among the squad.
He revealed that the players have continued to work on their fitness while away in self-isolation. A number of his staff have ensured that the squad have kept up their fitness levels, much to the manager’s satisfaction.
The staff kept in touch via video calls while also stepping up their sessions over the last couple of weeks.
“There have been video calls and of course the last couple of weeks they’ve been stepping it up.”
Among those back in training are stars Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford. The duo has hardly featured for United this year due to injury. Their return will come as a welcome boost for United as they fight for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Solskjaer praised his side’s mentality and believes they’re ready to make the step up to full-contact training when it is safe to do so.

He also admitted that the players may require some time to gel once full training resumes. They are, however, ready both physically and mentally to take it up.
