Mata issues coronavirus plea: 'Being patient and calm is the only thing we can do now'

Juan Mata has called on Manchester United fans to put their faith in the experts amid the uncertainty brought on by the novel coronavirus.

Speaking in a video call about the Covid-19 pandemic, the Spaniard said: "Being patient and calm is the only thing we can do now.

"We have to wait and trust the experts until we can play football again. We [Man Utd] players are coping okay.

"We are obviously in the house trying to get fit and training however we can by doing some exercises in the house and the garden."

Premier League action has been suspended until April 30 at the earliest but it remains to be seen when football will actually make its return.

Earlier this week, UEFA announced that they intent to finish the 2019/20 campaign in the summer following the massive coronavirus-related suspensions across Europe.
