“Great reward for you”-Football Manager welcomes fans to return football boots to ease restrictions

When the Premier League club opened its doors to supporters again, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer welcomed Manchester United fans back to Old Trafford.

The pre-match protests failed to materialize because Manchester United supporters took part in the game at Old Trafford on Tuesday for the first time in more than a year.

Fans have also returned to Brighton, Chelsea and Southampton’s first Premier League game since the third step of the road map blocked by the British government relaxed the Covid-19 restrictions.

Solskjaer said: “I am very happy to support the team again.” Together with the relegated Fulham, addressed the 10,000 fans in the 1-1 draw.

“We know that everyone has had a long and long year, but I am very happy to see you back here to support everyone.

“I know we are not the league we want to join, but I hope we can regain the trophy in about 10 days.

“Therefore, we will do everything possible and hope that next year we can see everyone sitting in their seats again. Therefore, everything goes well, support for the team and return home safely.”
