GOOD MORNING MAN FANS UTD
Football’s return to pre-season education has turned into chaos due to quarantine rules.
And players were warned that they could not simply confuse the formula by spending their holidays in an outdoor country from the UK safety list and then returning from another country, which did not require 14 days of isolation.
The Premier League has written to all clubs to warn them that anyone who has traveled to one of the 155 countries with the highest levels of Covid-19 will have to close before returning to work.
Even those who tested negative for coronavirus will not be exempt.
It has been reported that some concerned players were on holiday in Spain and then returned to the UK via Greece or Germany to go into quarantine.
A government spokesman said: “If you have been in a country that is not exempt from our restrictions, you will have to isolate yourself for 14 days.
“If you travel from that country to an exempt country for, for example, 4 days, you will still want to isolate yourself for ten days when you return to the UK.”
And with the maximum of sensible groups returning to education this week, several stars are suffering to exceed the deadline.
On the other hand, SunSport journalist Neil Custis believes ole Gunnar Solskjaer can also not get lost in an alley with a dead ending, as David Moyes did in the summer of 2013.
Manchester United boss and then executive vice president Ed Woodward has been resisting all summer thinking they’re hiring Cesc Fábregas. They stood on his floor and held on
Moyes and Fábregas even spoke but at the last minute the player stayed at Barcelona.
Meanwhile, United lost to other goals in other positions and ended with a signing: Marouane Fellaini.
That’s the one who stubbornly pursues Jadon Sancho.
They can’t put all their eggs in a basket by dragging and waiting for Sancho to defend himself from a settled Borussia Dortmund play.
Finally, David De Gea defended his position in Man Utd by insisting that “I have confidence in myself” as tension rises for Dean Henderson to return.
