'Football is an easy target sometimes' - Man Utd boss Solskjaer hits back over coronavirus criticism

The Norwegian is adamant players are trying to help after being called out by Health Secretary Matt Hancock

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes footballers are an ‘easy target’ after they have come in for criticism during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock called out players last week for the apparent lack of support being offered by highly-paid players and urged them to take a pay cut to ‘play their part.’

Many footballers across all leagues have been making their own individual donations to various different charities and discussions are under way between Premier League clubs over setting up a charity to pump money into.
