Manchester United vs PSG faces being forced behind closed doors as Mayor Andy Burnham expects Manchester to put placed in Tier 3 of coronavirus restrictions on Thursday

Mayor of Greater Manchester expects Manchester United's Champions League meeting with Paris Saint-Germain to remain behind closed doors with the city braced to return to Tier 3 coronavirus restrictions.

England is continuing to observe a national lockdown as part of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic but when that ends on December 2, regions will be categorised into one of three tiers where varied measures will be in place - with Tier 3 being the most severe.

Tier 3's stricter measures includes a ban on spectators being back in stadiums to watch live sport which would see PSG's trip to Old Trafford forced behind closed doors.
