The Premier League resumes this week following a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward confirmed the club would continue to pay all employees as if they were working as usual, including matchday and non-playing staff.
The club helped to deliver 60,000 meals to Britain's National Health Service staff. The meals were prepared using the club's facilities by its catering staff before being delivered across Greater Manchester in April and May.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side resume their push for a top-four finish with a trip to Tottenham Hotspur to face former manager Jose Mourinho on Friday.
