But the Red Devils have been dealt a huge blow ahead of this week’s Champions League fixture.

RB Leipzig’s squad were pictured arriving to the hotel in Salford on Tuesday afternoon.

As the Bundesliga side have set up camp there, Solskjaer’s men have had to go elsewhere.

Speaking last month, Solskjaer revealed how changes to his pre-match preparations have impacted his team.

The Red Devils manager said: “We need to look at the way we prepare.

“Maybe it’s something I’ve got to deal with.

“After the lockdown with Covid, we’ve stayed at home, we’ve had different routines coming into games.

“I’ve just got to look at everything, how the players prepare, because it’s been noticeable how well we’ve done away from home.”

Solskjaer lived at The Lowry while he was in temporary charge at United.

He only decided to move out once Ed Woodward confirmed he had the job permanently.

Mourinho lived at the luxurious hotel for the entire time that he was in charge of United.

He claimed it was because he cannot cook, clean or iron.

Reports claimed the Portuguese manager spent a staggering £779,000 on his room.
