Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he trusts his players to keep fit during the coronavirus pandemic.

Footballers have been forced to train at home as Britain has been locked down to stop the spread of the COVID-19 illness.

And Solskjaer knows his team will work hard to maintain their fitness levels.

"Our players have been really good. They're good lads and I trust them," Solskjaer told the club's website.

"They're naturally fit anyway and want to improve. The training side is fine, you find they're good people and you try to encourage, as we've all got to adjust.

"Some of our players have families abroad and some of them were able to go back home to be with them.

"I don't know when we are going to get back into football and we've got to set dates for when we are going to report but, of course, we're updated all the time with the government and the authorities.

"Hopefully, our fans will know they want to come back into football in a good frame of mind but the players need some time back home now."
