With pretty much the entire globe in some kind of lockdown at the moment, Premier League players will need to be coming up with new and creative ways to stay fit and maintain their sharpness until normality resumes.

And Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a very inventive idea. He's jokingly suggested that the wives and girlfriends of the Red Devils' main goalscorers should be supplying crosses and passes to help the players practice their finishing at home.

Hilariously obscure Premier League players - Can you name them all?
