United Prepared for Covid-19 in January

Man United praised amid coronavirus crisis

Premier League clubs have watched on with interest at how Manchester United have conducted themselves during the coronavirus crisis.

In January, they held daily meetings about the impact the virus could potentially have, despite the pandemic being in only its very early stages. The feeling at Old Trafford is that the approach has helped them be as prepared as possible, while sources have told ESPN that clubs in the Premier League have noted how well the club has handled the problem internally and externally.

Aside from being well prepared for the impact COVID-19 would have, United were adamant from the outset they would continue to pay their employees and not furlough nonplaying staff. Tottenham, Liverpool and Bournemouth have been forced into embarrassing U-turns on their decisions to furlough nonplaying staff, but sources have said United never intended to do so.

It has also been noted how senior players Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford have conducted themselves and represented the club during the lockdown. The United captain has supplied essential food packages to pensioners in the Yorkshire village where he grew up. Rashford, meanwhile, has raised £100,000 which will help feed 400,000 schoolchildren. -- Rob Dawson

The club has, whether you're Glazers/Ed in or out, handled this marvellously. I'm not a fan of Ed but he and those running the club have done a great job in not only handling this crisis but being prepared for it. Something you'd think our government would have done.

It doesn’t even mention the story in the headline, so the complete opposite of click bait.

It's not our reporting, it's espn whoever they are.
But if it's just your opinion on the article, and not intended to wind up United fans, post it on the liv8board. We are intelligent enough to judge it ourselves.

If you don't want to read views from other fans then perhaps you'd be better off on Redcafe or the likes.

That's always what wummers say. Most articles are derailed by the likes of you.
I prefer to have my conversations on here.
You prefer nothing to be informative.

I made a valid internet forum comment. I'm sorry if you feel otherwise. There's one comment going against the grain here, that's par for the course. What did you expect on a mutliteam forum? We can't all hold hands and sing kumbaya. This is how its supposed to be and you should lighten up.

It's good to hold and air your views if they go against the accepted norm, it makes people question things more.

Everyone on here thinks you're a massive bell, I'm sure you disagree.

Who the fack are you? Of course I disagree because its not true, and even if it was, on this site that means nothing. This is the kind of place where you'd rather be considered a bell than a no mark like you.
