Linz made the decision following advice from the Austrian government.

United sold their allocation of just under 900 tickets but the game is one of several European club competition fixtures that will have no spectators.

Wolves’ Europa League last-16 first-leg match at Olympiakos on Thursday will also be played in a near-empty stadium.

Sporting events in Europe have been affected as a result of the spread of the virus, with games being played without fans or, such as two of the three final-weekend Six Nations matches, postponed.
