A day after Liverpool’s northwest derby match against Manchester United was postponed due to United fans protesting the club’s ownership, we still don’t know for certain when or even if the match will take place.
The one certainty now is that the game won’t be played this week despite early talk of the match simply being pushed to Monday evening. If that ever was a realistic possibility, the timeframe for making that call has now passed.
The result is an overcrowded fixture list for United that makes it difficult to see where the game can reasonably be fit due to that club’s European commitments and the looming end of an already compressed season.
MANCHESTER, England
The storming of Old Trafford crystalized 16 years of disconnect between Manchester United fans and its distant ownership.
While choosing not to engage with the supporters who are the lifeblood of any club, the Glazer family can’t have avoided seeing the levels of rage against them on Sunday. Not when it led to the unprecedented postponement of an English Premier League game due to fan unrest, especially one of the biggest matches of the season between United and Liverpool.
Three months after celebrating success in the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Glazers’ ill-fated bid to lead United into a European Super League made their relationship with fans in England more toxic than ever before.
