Manchester City have to wait for title after Old Trafford protest

LONDON: Manchester City will have to wait at least another week to be crowned as Premier League champions after Sunday's game between Manchester United and Liverpool was postponed after supporters of the home club protested on the pitch at Old Trafford against club owners, the Glazier family, and their attempt to include the club in the failed Super League project.

Hundreds of fans broke into the ground and protested on the pitch and two police officers are reported to have been injured, causing the postponement of the match, which was due to be played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"Following discussion between the Police, The Premier League, Trafford Council, and the clubs, our match against Liverpool has been postponed due to safety and security considerations around the protest today. Discussions will now take place with the Premier League on a revised date for the fixture," informed Manchester United in a statement. Agencies
