MANCHESTER UNITED players returned to Carrington days after their Covid outbreak which saw their game against Brentford be postponed.

Amongst the returning stars was defender Victor Lindelof, who in recent days has had his heart monitored after suffering from chest pains in the 1-0 win over Norwich.

The 27-year-old had to be replaced after he dropped down in discomfort and had his hand on his chest.

United medics rushed onto the pitch during the second half and helped the Swede leave the pitch.

Lindelof’s wife Maja Nilsson Lindelof confirmed: “It was a scary match to watch and Victor was very upset afterwards.

“He did a lot of tests and has a heart monitor on for two days to make sure everything is OK.

“It was a long time before I got hold of someone on the team who updated me.

“Everything seems to be okay as luck would have it and we are waiting for answers to the last tests that will end tomorrow.

“So we just spent the day at home yesterday and rested.”

Four players and some staff who were involved at Norwich tested positive for Covid and were sent home to self isolate.

Now that Carrington has been reopened, United will check all their returning players for any further cases.

The club will then decide whether to appeal to the Premier League to have Saturday’s home game against Brighton called off based on the new test results.
