Manchester United managerOle Gunnar Solskjaer prepared his squad ahead of their away leg of their last-16 tie against LASK Linz in Austria with the news that the match will be played in front of no fans. First-team players including Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire and David de Gea all took part in the training session at United's Aon Training Complex on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's match. United's game is one of five matches in the Europa League set to be played behind closed doors on Thursday as the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc with football on the continent. United confirmed on Tuesday that the decision had been made "following guidance from the Austrian government".
