Breaking news: trouble in Manchester as listed players and staff affected by COVID 19 what a set back for Ralf Ragnick.

 Manchester United are the latest Premier 

League club to suffer an outbreak 

of Covid-19, GOAL understands.




A number of players and staff returned


 postive lateral flow tests on Sunday 


morning and were sent home from training.



There are now fears the outbreak could


 spread even further, putting Tuesday's 


Premier League trip to Brentford in serious


 doubt.



GOAL understands the whole group 


who travelled to Norwich on Saturday tested 


negative in the latest round of routine tests.



However a fresh round of lateral flow testing 


on Sunday morning returned a small


 number of postive tests among players 


and staff.



Those who had tested positive were 


subsequently sent home, with the Premier


 League informed of the situation.



Those who remained outdoors with the


 training schedule adjusted to individual 


and non-contact sessions.



News of this latest outbreak comes just


 days after Tottenham's Europa Conference


 League tie against Rennes on Thursday 


was postponed after 13 Spurs players


 and staff tested positive for the virus.



Sunday's Premier League match against


 Brighton was also called off as a 


precaution.



Norwich boss Dean Smith revealed on 


Friday that he was awaiting on the results


 of Covid tests after a number of players 


fell ill, although it was not confirmed whether


 any player had subsequently tested


 positive.

They stated: It was announced on Monday that the highly  respected German will take charge of the Reds  until the end of this season, before continuing  in a consultancy role for a further two years. The process of applying for a work permit  meant that Rangnick could not manage United  in tonight’s fixture against Arsenal at Old  Trafford, where Michael Carrick will continue  his role as interim.  We are delighted to confirm that Ralf’s  permit has now been approved and he  will be officially unveiled in front of the media  on Friday morning. Ralf will presumably look forward to his first  match in charge of United, against Crystal  Palace in the Premier League at 14:00 GMT  on Sunday.

Breaking news: Paper Talk: Manchester United close in on Boubacar Kamara transfer

  Manchester United have reportedly  enquired about signing Marseille midfielder  Boubacar Kamara during the current  winter transfer window. Kamara has entered  the final six months of his contract for  Les Olympiens and is therefore free  to negotiate a contract with other clubs  for the coming summer. However, Manchester United want to  secure Kamara's services during the  winter window for a reduced fee, as Ralf  Rangnick looks to bolster his options  in midfield. Should Manchester United be able  to finalise a deal for Kamara, they will  be getting one of Marseille's most  important players. The 22-year-old has been a stalwart  in the middle of the park for Marseille , making 23 appearances so far this  season and captaining the side on a number  of occasions.
