Manchester United commit to pay casual match day workers amid coronavirus postponement

Manchester United will pay all of its matchday and non-matchday casual workers until the end of the season regardless of whether or not any more games are played.

After a meeting between the Premier League clubs on Thursday it was determined that no games would be played until April 30 at the earliest due to the Coronavirus outbreak, which means four games at Old Trafford have been postponed.

United employ thousands of people on a casual basis to help run their matchdays, from stewards to catering staff to security, with the club having stated they employed 3,340 temporary staff.
