Why the preparations of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to face Leicester were ruined

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's preparations for Manchester United's trip to Leicester Sunday were ruined by the icy cold that reigns in northwestern England.

The Sun reports that United's acting boss was forced to cancel his training at the club's headquarters in Carrington on Wednesday, a day after the 2-2 draw with Burnley at Old Trafford – the first Solskjaer match without United does not win.

Thursday was already scheduled as a day of rest for the players and Solskjaer has not changed the game, which means that the team did not resume their training until Friday, two days before the match at King Power Stadium.

Given that United will have to visit the Midlands on Saturday, Solskjaer's preparation time for the Foxes match has been significantly reduced.

The Norwegian planned to give the players a light training session after the Burnley match, but because of the bad weather, he let the team stay home while he sought to prolong the feeling of well-being at home. club since the dismissal of Jose Mourinho.

It is believed that players are reluctant to use artificial terrain on the cold weather training ground as the surface exerts pressure on their joints.

The cold spell has left much of the snow-covered Manchester area and could continue until the weekend.
