Manchester United’s postponed fixture against Liverpool will be played on Thursday, May 13, the Premier League has announced.

A large group of fans broke into Old Trafford, accessing the players’ tunnel, which meant a deep clean would have been required due to Covid regulations for the match to go ahead.

This means Red Devils have to play three Premier League matches in just five days. United travel to Aston Villa on Sunday, May 9 and then host Leicester on Tuesday, May 11.
