Manchester United confirm positive coronavirus tests

Manchester United have officially confirmed that there have been a number of positive coronavirus tests within the club.

The growing number of coronavirus cases in England has begun to have an impact in the Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur seeing their last two games postponed due to an outbreak among their staff.

The Red Devils are now dealing with those issues and they have confirmed that a 'small number' of players and staff members have tested positive for the virus.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has had to adjust their training plans to become individual and contactless sessions, with only those that have tested negative being allowed to participate.

The Red Devils are due to play Brentford on Tuesday and, at this point, the fixture is still set to go ahead.

However, should the situation at the club worsen in the coming days, that match could be under threat, with Spurs having seen their match against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday postponed.
