Manchester United stars have been told to wash their OWN kit ahead of a return to training on May 18 with the club's laundry facilities off limits due to coronavirus fears, with players expected to shower at home

Manchester United stars have been told to prepare for a return to training on May 18 - and to clean their own kit.

United are gearing up for the Premier League to resume on June 8 with a mini pre-season lasting three weeks, but will make the squad adhere to strict social distancing measures.

Players will have to drive to the club's Carrington base alone, work in small groups, possibly on a rota basis if there are too many of them for a specific training drill, and then shower at home.

Perhaps most alien of all, they will have to wash their own dirty kit because the usual laundry facilities aren't available at the club.
