Manchester United’s upcoming match against Brentford in the Premier League has been postponed due to a Covid outbreak.
The two sides were set to play each other at the Brentford Community Stadium on Tuesday. However, it became doubtful that the match will be played on schedule after tests of players or staff came back positive.
The Red Devils also kept their training ground closed for 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.
And now, after taking guidance from the authorities and Premier League, United announced the postponement of their midweek match against Brentford.
The club statement read: “Following PCR confirmation of positive LFT Covid-19 tests among the first-team staff and players, the outbreak requires ongoing surveillance.
