JAKARTA - Manchester United will again prepare for the Premier League match against Brighton. Ralf Rangnick's team will reportedly return to training after the club was previously exposed to a case of COVID-19.

Reporting from the Daily Mail, Thursday, the COVID-19 case that hit United was quite serious. Several players and staff tested positive until their training ground at Carrington was closed on Monday, December 13 last.

Not only that, but the finding of positive cases of COVID-19 in United's camp also made the match against Brentford on December 14 postponed by the league operator.

But now, the latest news says that Manchester United players have undergone follow-up tests and players who tested negative for the Coronavirus were immediately allowed to return to training.

Not only holding the training session in preparation for the match against Brighton on Saturday, but the Red Devils are also planning to hold a big event on Christmas Eve involving the staff, women's team, and the junior team.

Despite the sweet plans that Manchester United had drawn up, COVID-19 cases did suddenly spread again in the Premier League. In the last series of tests, it was even known that there were 42 people, both players, and staff, who were confirmed positive for the Coronavirus.

This number then became the highest record number since routine tests carried out by the Premier League organizers in May 2020.

The aftermath is also serious because not only the Man Utd vs. Brentford match has been postponed, there is also the Brighton vs. Tottenham Hotspur match. In addition, Leicester City, Aston Villa, and Norwich City have also reportedly had players and staff testing positive for COVID-19.
