Lingard: Man Utd players happy back in training

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard says the players are happy to be back in training.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad returned to their training ground at Carrington on Wednesday after the two month shutdown due to the coronavirus crisis.

Lingard told The Sun: "If it wasn't a safe environment then we wouldn't be training.

"But we follow the right protocols, we get tested every two days and we keep our distance, obviously, group training as well.

"At the moment we're taking everything so steady and we're waiting on the government to give the green light for the next step.

"None of the players would be there if we didn't feel it was safe.

"I couldn't wait to get back to football but since being back it's been great. At the moment we're currently training in groups with specific time slots.

"It's been good just to get my boots on and back on the grass with the balls and around my teammates and coaches."
