On the absence of fans at the Amex Stadium, The united manager said
‘Of course, fans matter and have an impact on games. To get out of this lockdown period is going to be fantastic.
‘The lack of fans affects the players. The game looks slower I think, without the fans. The noise and passion helps, even the view from the sofa.
‘But all the physical stats show it’s not a big difference. The ball is more in play at the moment but you've got to create your own atmosphere and enthusiasm in there.
‘Some players thrive on crowds, some players relax more with no crowd and express themselves more. Individual teams and players react differently.’
