Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the Covid outbreaks at other Premier League clubs are 'frightening' but wants football to continue through the rest of the pandemic.
A resurgence of the virus in the form of a new variant has plunged the country back into crisis and led to the postponement of a number of matches.
It has already impacted the FA Cup third round weekend with Aston Villa set to play their Under-23s against Liverpool.
Solskjaer is alarmed at the situation but the Manchester United boss believes football has played an important part in people's daily lives during lockdown.
