Solskjaer to ban unfit players from Man Utd’s summer tour

The Norwegian wants to focus on improving the squad's fitness levels ahead of next season and has devised individual plans for his players

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned his Manchester United squad to be fit before they report back for pre-season this summer or risk being excluded from the club’s summer tour.

United’s stats for sprints and distance covered per game have been behind their rivals and the manager wants to crack down on fitness levels ahead of the new season.

Each player has been given an individual fitness and nutrition plan for the summer to keep them in top shape in the off-season and Solskjaer has insisted that if the plans are not adhered to, players will be dropped from pre-season.
