WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Guardian journalist Tom Garry, United’s trip to Kingsmeadow on October 6 could be postponed, something that has caused “lots of frustration” in England. To make matters worse, the game has been picked for Sky Sports coverage and the game is sold out. So, why could this match be pushed back?
THE EXPLANATION
Garry adds the Chelsea-United contest may be postponed due to “player welfare” concerns, as the Blues are playing Real Madrid in the Champions League just two days later, on October 8. Time is running out for a postponement, with the disruption causing quite the upheaval.
