Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has assured that his team is well equipped to face Tottenham Hotspurs on Friday Night.

“Project Restart” kicked off on Wednesday, June 17, 2020, and games in hand between Aston Villa and Sheffield, Manchester City and Arsenal were honored meaning the weekend will witness full fixtures of Matchday 30 and it begins with Norwich vs Southampton before Spurs take on Manchester United behind closed doors.

At a pre-match conference on Thursday morning, the confident Norwegian disclosed that his boys look fit and ready to recommence the season.

 

 

“It's a great game, a big game against one of the best teams in the league, of course, Champions League finalists less than a year ago, so we know that we're up for a hard game. We've prepared as well as we've can. We've trained well, the boys have trained well over the lockdown.

"We've had a couple of in-house 11v11s and we had had one 11v11 against West Brom which hopefully will stand us in good stead. They are young, they look fit and ready, so we will see tomorrow night.”

He updated that Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba who have their 2019-2020 campaign upset by injury are fit to play a part in tomorrow’s game.

“We have two players probably, Phil Jones and Axel will miss this game and the start and let's see how bad they are, but apart from that the rest of the squad is fit, available. Marcus and Paul they have been out for a long, long period, but they are available, so how long they are going to play for, let's see.”

 

 

On whether he will employ the new rules that allows five substitutions, the manager said “It depends on the games of course. Three subs, that is the right amount for a game, but five of them will happen because we have to look after the players.

"The Premier League is intense physically and they are going straight into another season after. It's a good option to protect the players and not pick up any unnecessary injuries. We have to use those periods to make subs well.”
