Presser is later today after they fly out to Austria. Meanwhile here's some footage from the open training session.
Solskjær press conference vs LASK (A)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Martial might miss the training due to that gash he got himself against City and might not even fly, Pogba might still not be ready to train this week while Dalot and Lingard might not be fit.
Or it could be what Ole has been doing the past few weeks where supposedly injured players don't show up for training nor even at the hotel the night prior to the game but show up in the morning and play the game later, cases in point Martial and Maguire.

Dalot apparently turned up for training and then went home not long after.

United training squad for LASK game
Anthony Martial was not involved in Manchester United’s open training session on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s Europa League trip to Austria.
The Frenchman was one of six players who did not take part in training at Carrington, with long-term absentees Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford not involved and Diogo Dalot, Jesse Lingard and James Garner also unaccounted for.
Dalot was photographed arriving at Carrington at 9.44am but left at 10am and did not return to take part in the open section of the session.
Kieran O’Hara, the 23-year-old goalkeeper, was also involved in the session. He is spending the season on loan at Burton Albion.
Here’s the full squad
I had high hopes on Pogba making it for tomorrow. Looks like he won’t 
If Dalot is injured again, it’s really worrisome for his future and development here. He plays in one game and then does not feature in the next ten

I had high hopes of Dalot since Jose hyped him up as the best young Portuguese RB. But he hasn't shown anything to warrant that sstatus.
The yellow card Shaw got during the Derby game resulted from Dalot's poor defending.
I think we might need to address that position, because we're one injury away from being left with no quality options. I'm not sure if Williams could cover there, but Dalot's quite shaky.

It looks much better than olden days of open ground without Trees or boards around to stop the heavy wind.
Ugh Jones is back.

United issue statement on coronavirus
Two words: Ethan. Laird. Though he's also had his fair share of injury issues...
Yes, you're right, but I'm not sure that we could call on him yet.
If he keeps up his progress, then he'll get a few chances next season and then the season after he will be in contention (at least that's how I foresee it).
Certainly hope I'm proven wrong.
I'd forgot he existed.
Is this anywhere live?
Guten Abend und wilkomen

even a cough creates a funny situation.Solskjaer on the strange circumstance of fixture
The players are focused on concentrating on the job, thees are difficult circumstances for all of society. For us we just have to do what we are told and get on with the game.

Atmosphere affected by circumstances
We will have to create our own atmosphere within the game. They are used to training with no spectators, we play quite a lot of behind closed door friendlies, and I have no doubt my players are ready to perform even if there are no spectators there.

More from Solskjaer on the lack of fans
Of course it will be strange. This makes for a stranger atmosphere, we are just going to make the most of it.

Should have said that we play at the etihad enough so we have experience
Solskjaer on fears Europa League could end early because of coronavirus
We don’t know what is going to happen, we just have to get on with it. I think football is about fans, without fans it is nothing. It should always be for them. A difficult situation but the boys are very good at focusing on the job in hand.

Solskjaer asked if players have been tested for coronavirus
No we haven’t had any tests. That will be the experts and our doctor, but we have had no reason to so far.

Solskjaer understands if football is postponed for coronavirus
I would understand, yes. It is up to the experts to decide, and the main concern must be the health of the general public.

These journos need to mix up the questions a bit
McTominay not phased by odd atmosphere
Obviously when you are growing up and play U18s and Reserve games you are used to playing in front of lesser crowds. it will be strange, but we will keep doing what we have been doing. It is a real shame fans from both sides can’t come.

McTominay asked about season possibly ending early and preventing Liverpool from winning league
Obviously, that is a difficult question to answer. For us, we are only concentrated on ourselves and forgetting about other teams. We have to be ready and hopefully this virus won’t affect us too much.
McTominay on whether City win can transform season
Big games can always change a season. I feel you are starting to see that with the confidence, and desire to win. Long may it continue.

Solskjaer on possibility of fans not being allowed into Old Trafford
At the moment I am not aware of any decision being made for next week’s game. We have to wait for the authorities and the government to make their decisions.

Finally a team question.
Solskjaer asked for a picture
A very nervous local ‘reporter’ has just Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for a photo. The United manager obliges.

Martial hurt him self when hitting the post, and hopefully will be ready for Sunday, maybe not.
Martial and Pogba injury update
Anthony hurt himself when he slid into the post, so he is not ready for this game. Hopefully for Sunday, but not sure.
Paul is getting closer, but not ready yet he hasn’t trained with the team yet but by next week he will be ready.

McTominay asked about new United culture under Bruno Fernandes
With Bruno you see he comes in and he is a born winner, you see that in training as well. It is what we need as a team, we need that spark from someone. He has been a breathe of fresh air, and that is what this football club needs. We need that personality on the pitch, and he has that in abundance. He is a real credit.

Scott is very articulate. He doesn't speak in the normal footballer stock phrases (very much so)
Solskjaer asked about Gomes future
With Tahith we are very happy he sees his future here. We will give him the time he needs to develop, that is the same with Angel. We hope we can convince him he is a Man United player.

McTominay on competition between himself and Matic
Competition for places is so important. It can only breed a healthy environment and for myself you want to be one of the first on the team sheet. Nemanja is a great player and I can learn a lot from him.

Finally someone asking about Gomes.
Solskjaer asked if he's ever played behind closed doors
I played in Norway, so! Yes I did. i played for my local team until I was 22, so probably Scott’s age before I played in front of crowds.
