Manchester United to play West Brom in TWO hour-long friendly matches at Old Trafford on Friday as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side prepare for the Premier League return

Manchester United will press ahead with plans to face West Brom in an Old Trafford friendly on Friday despite this week's coronavirus scare.

United's planned meeting with Stoke at their Carrington training base was cancelled at short notice on Tuesday after Michael O'Neill, the Championship club's manager, learned he had tested positive for Covid-19.

It is now thought O'Neill never actually entered Carrington, having turned his car around soon after he was told his results. United are also satisfied none of the Stoke players came into contact with theirs.
