Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Manchester United's players to use the memory of their behind-closed-doors victory over LASK when competitive football returns to the UK.

The Reds have not played domestically since 8 March, when goals from Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay earned a third derby win of the season over Manchester City.

Four days later, in Austria, United played our final match before the COVID-19 pandemic saw football indefinitely postponed – but the match had to take place in an empty stadium

Despite the unusual circumstances, the team delivered an emphatic performance, trouncing LASK 5-0 in the first leg of a UEFA Europea League round-of-16 tie.

“It’s going to be difficult,”

 said Solskjaer, when asked about the potential of resuming the Premier League behind closed doors.

“But we played against LASK just before lockdown and they played fantastically well. That must play in the boys’ head. We’re capable of playing without an atmosphere.
