Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick said the club had to ensure its players were vaccinated following a Covid-19 outbreak that led to the postponement of their last two Premier League games.
“We have to encourage players to behave in a disciplined way with regards to contact. We also need to make sure we have most players vaccinated," Rangnick told reporters.United last played in a 1-0 win over Norwich City on December 11. Their fixtures against Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford could not go ahead after Covid-19 cases left them with only 11 fit players, three of whom were goalkeepers.
"You are not protected but at least you are protected from severe symptoms. As far as I know, most of our players who tested positive had very, very weak symptoms."
