The United manager spoke to the club’s website about how he and his squad are handling the nationwide lockdown and break from group training.
Solskjaer discussed how the group had stayed in contact via Whatsapp but also encouraged his players to continue to work on specific parts of their games, with the aid of partners.
“This period could be used to work on something special, something specific for them and their roles and tasks,” the Norwegian said.
“I’ve been in the garden, with the kids, working on finishing and the strikers should be working on finishing or their movement.
“Most of the players have got good facilities and decent gardens so, hopefully, their wives and girlfriends will be able to put some passes and crosses in.”
Solskjaer said he remained unclear about when football and the Premier League would return but continued to stay in touch with his Manchester United players and staff to keep them engaged.
“For the actual job, I keep in touch and communicate with the staff and the players,” he said.
“Of course, Im used to seeing them every day for hours and hours, so its different.
“I just keep in touch with them on WhatsApp groups and messages, and we plan for whenever we get back and what kind of sessions for when we do start.
“But its such an unknown and we don’t really have an idea and are not 100 per cent about when we’ll start.
“That’s the good thing now with technology and were lucky in that sense. We can keep in touch and see each other.
“We can send messages and get a reply quickly, and we can do the old-fashioned phone call sometimes and speak just on the phone. So we keep in touch regularly.”
United are currently fifth on the Premier League table, three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the race for UEFA Champions League spots.
