Solskjaer and McT seemed to be enjoying themselves. They’re quite a decent double act...
Q: “With everything that’s happening around coronavirus at the moment, should this game be being played?"
OGS to Scott: “I'm not sure if you know but our old coach, Warren Joyce, once scored a goal for Hull in front of an empty stand and he was celebrating in front of it so you might just have to create that atmosphere yourself. Warren will be happy when I say this."
Q: “Scott, obviously you're a massive Manchester United fan, so if the season were to be cancelled, it would mean Liverpool wouldn't win the title. I wondered how you feel about that?"
SM: [laughing] “Obviously that's a difficult question to answer. [grins] For me, you can't really say too much about that..."
(Would love to know what he was really thinking )
Q: “Ole, my second question is... sorry, I'm so nervous... I'm a big United fan since I was a little boy and is there any chance you can take a picture with me after the press conference?"
OGS: “That's going to be no problem."
Q: “I've got a kit here as well and if you would sign it, that would be great!"
OGS: “Absolutely, no worries. we'll do that."
Q: “I'm shaking!"
(Wtf? )
Q: “Ole, did you ever play behind closed doors as a player?"
OGS: “I played in Norway... [grins] so yes I did!"

Would be great to turn the commentary off for the closed doors games, just listen to the game.

I expect we’re going to hear commentators spending a lot of time apologising “for any slightly unsavoury language you might just have heard...”

Was this the official pre game press conference?
Who were the reporters, school kids from Austria or something?
Think McT is a future captain.

Unfortunately looks like Maguire is going to be Captain for a while. I think it should have been given to McT. He's been Captain through the ranks at United and plays with the fire and example a captain should. At the very least he should be made the official vice captain next season.

Think it's a bit early yet tbh, but in a few years time if he continues as he is.

Ole just can't wait for this season to end.

Just a great human being thinking of the greater good.

Looking forward to the game tonight still, Ighalo starting up front again too, hopefully getting another goal. Expecting a strong side other than Martial being out, need to carry on the momentum from the City game into the Spurs match. Bailly probably getting another game.
Romero
AWB Bailly Maguire Shaw/Williams
McT
Fred Bruno
Greenwood Ighalo James

It's a European away tie. I think we've got to take the sting out of the game early on; get lots of possession and try to quieten down the crowd.

Think it’ll be close to:
—————DDG
AWB—Lindelof—Maguire—Shaw
———McT——Fred
Mata———————James
————-Bruno
————-Ighalo
