It’s been postponed, has to put Brighton on Saturday in huge doubt as well.

Postponed
The game’s postponed, it’s just been announced.
Just got a notification from the Premier League app that the game is off.
Game on my birthday postponed 
At the moment this is bad for us but it’s quickly getting to the point where a winter break has to be considered this season and then it’s good for every club.
I reckon a 2 week break ought to be sufficient.
It would give rangnick time to coach players
Didn't they try bring one in but then Covid happened, so we had to play through it and then Qatar world cup had to be planned for in winter. Could be wrong though.
Get promoted quick
I paid an arm and a leg to get to this Brighton game. I know this is small in the grand scheme of things, but I really hope that game goes ahead otherwise I would’ve flown to the UK for nothing. Hope its just a couple of players and that we should be all set for Saturday.
Ban needed
sorry to hear that man, hope they don't cancel
Hopefully the Brighton game is good.
Hopefully it is played
Can't see how it will be when positive cases need a 10 day minimum isolation period. Both clubs have covid cases, and are almost certainly likely to add to these in the inbetween days.
Yep, hopefully all good
I’m flying over as well mate let’s hope it goes ahead
Game on my birthday postponed
Sorry mate, that sucks. I bet you still have a great one.
All a matter of perspective. Some people love Disneyland despite the crowds and prices, some people hate it.
it’s more about protecting the NHS, and other countries health services, if your local hospital has 100 beds and 100 beds are taken up by covid patients then what happens to the person who comes in with excruciating pain that needs investigation and treatment.
With restrictions targeting mass events first, or places with large gatherings eg stopping the rush to work and home by making work from home encouraged etc it reduces infection rate.
Yes covid is a relatively mild illness for most, but a minority still die or get severe or long covid. The problem is when you have 50000-90000 plus daily infections 200 daily needing treatment is small minority that very quickly adds up.
On the bolded, spot on. I’ve tried to explain this a million times to anti vaxxers and the down right conspiracy theorists in my family and workplace but it doesn’t sink in.
I lived down there for a while after I left school, it's a shithole full of absolute dullards.
I swear 75% of people I met thought anybody from north of Watford is either Mancunian or Geordie. The amount of times I was asked if I'd been to biker grove....
Although tbf, I was living in Peckham.
Been to see Dr Facebook eh?
memories… amazing how far Ant and Dec have got, also the lady forgotten her name but used to have the biggest crush on her
Any idea how many players we had who tested positive and who they are.
The only names I remember are PJ, Duncan and Spuggy.
Oh, and the dude with the tash who'd definitely be having his harddrive checked nowadays...
Sad to see any United game called off as I was looking forward to it but I think this is potentially a massive silver lining advantage benefits for United players and Rangnick to get a massive 2 weeks rest (I assume the Brighton game will be called off too) before Newcastle in 2 weeks (enjoy Christmas lads!) and train more to learn and get use to Rangnick style/philosophy. And will give us a better chance of winning the games when they are rescheduled as we will much better in terms of playing the Rangnick way.
Plus Ronny the GOAT our talisman at 36 gets a well deserved and needed rest for 2 whole weeks.. he will be fresh as a daisy ready to score a hat-trick against the Geordie scummers Newcastle!
It's like having a fresh new pre-season for United (which normally lasts a few weeks), Rangnick with all the players and Ronny (who never had a pre-season with the team to get use to the players and vice versa) to implement Rangnicks vision and get use to each other and United will be better for it. The reset for the New United starts here.

Sorry mate, i can't imagine. I hope it works out for you. I need a trip to game myself, bad.
Hop on a train to Manchester and go on the Museum and Stadium Tour.
Wouldn't work for the Covid cases. You're just delaying things. Best thing to do is to go back to Project Restart rules with as much social distancing and testing as possible for the next month or two.
I'm 80% sure it will go ahead. By the weekend both Brighton and Man Utd should have been able to social distance enough to stop spread and also figure out which players are actually positive to muster up enough for a game.
Should know either way by Thursday.
Yeah. Covid can take a few days to come out so I suspect United will have a lot more covid cases by the end of the week. I knew playing that Norwich game was risky.. they played spurs who tested positive.. that's where it came from
No way that Brighton game goes ahead. And Brighton might have their own covid problems too.
We need to get the booster jabs to the footballers asap over the Christmas period.
Salford are playing Stevenage, worse case scenario and all. Probably get to meet Neville, Giggs and Scholes.
Thanks for the positive words guys ! Hopefully things go through smoothly, Omicron wasn’t even a thing when I planned this trip and what would’ve been a fun trip to England, Netherlands and Spain has now turned into just a trip to England with the possibility of no game and getting stuck there if I catch Omicron. The vacation is giving me more stress than work itself haha. But what will be, will be.
So players and club staffs living in the bubble is bollox ? I remember they put a very tight measure when we started having games again. When was the bubble removed ?
