Man Utd defender Tuanzebe admits empty stadiums has pros and cons

Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe says playing in front of empty stadiums has it's pros and cons.

Tuanzebe has noted that the absence of fans has made a huge difference this season, but acknowledges that this impacts both teams on the pitch and can also have positive effects as well as negative.

He told United Review: "You can say that the pressure from the opposition fans has kind of faded, which, to some extent, makes things easier for the away team.

"Fans are a massive part of the game [but] now you can hear everything that's being said, you can communicate easily with your team-mates."

United return to action at home this weekend against strong relegation candidates West Brom, looking to build upon a recent victory over Carlo Ancelotti's Everton.
