Manchester United prepare for LASK test without fans

LASK to play United behind closed doors LASK to play United behind closed doors

Manchester United will have to endure the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 clashes against LASK without the presence of their fans due to coronavirus.

Thursday's match holds at the Linzer Stadion, TGW Arena, in Austria and the teams will have to play behind closed doors as authorities combat the deadly virus' outbreak.

This comes after major sporting events across the globe have been sorely affected by the outbreak across Europe.

The entire Serie A schedule in Italy has been shut down for the foreseeable future, while games across the planet are being played out in front of empty stands.

La Liga has announced that the next two rounds of fixtures in Spain must take place behind closed doors, while several high-profile Champions League games are having to take a similar approach.

Barcelona and Napoli will rattle around Camp Nou, while Bayern Munich and Chelsea will do likewise at the Allianz Arena.

On Wednesday no fans will be in attendance when Paris Saint-Germain play host to Borussia Dortmund, with the same true of Sevilla versus Roma and Olympiacos against Wolves in the Europa League on Thursday.

It has also been revealed that the Republic of Ireland’s Euro 2020 play-off in Slovakia will be void of atmosphere.

The Premier League, and English football as a whole, is yet to take any drastic action.
