No points deductions for Man Utd over protest

May 03, 2021

Reports say Manchester United will NOT be hit with a points deduction, after a fan protest forced the postponement of their home Premier League game against Liverpool. 

However, TalkSport says United could hit with a fine, if authorities determine that their security measures were not strong enough.

A huge crowd of United fans demonstrated against the club's owners at Old Trafford. 

Some clashed with police, leaving two officers injured, while others managed to force their way into the stadium. 

Meanwhile Premier League officials could struggle to find an appropriate date to reschedule the match 

According to the current schedule, United already have a packed fixture list for the remainder of this season.

They are already due to play ever midweek this month before the Premier League season ends on May 26th
