Manchester United’s match against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday has been postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak at the Old Trafford club, the Premier League said on Thursday.
“It is with regret that this is the fourth Premier League fixture to have been postponed in the past week,” the league said in a statement.
“While recognising a number of clubs are experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks, it is the League’s intention to continue its current fixture schedule where safely possible. The health and wellbeing of all concerned remains our priority.”
Earlier, the Premier League match between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur that was scheduled to kick off later on Thursday had also been postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak, British media said.
This is Spurs’ third game to be called off due to COVID-19 after their Europa Conference League match against Rennes last week and a Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion over the weekend.
