Manchester United have revealed provisional plans for the return of 2,000 fans to Old Trafford in time for the clash with Leeds before Christmas if Greater Manchester comes out of tier three.
A Government review of the restrictions is due four days before United face their old rivals on December 20, and the club have plans in place to welcome back supporters for the first time since the Manchester derby in early March.
Although United believe they can safely accommodate 23,500 fans adhering to social distancing, the 2,000 limit has been set for tier two areas and 4,000 for tier one.
