Manchester United say they support the ambition of English football’s governing bodies to try to complete the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA competition seasons, amid the disruption caused by coronavirus.
“The club fully supports the collective intent to complete the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA club competitions”, the club said in a statement discussing contingency plans for season ticket holders if games are to be played behind closed doors, once and if the season resumes.
The Premier League, as well as the EFL, took the decision earlier in March to suspend English football until April 30 at the earliest, and the PFA is set to meet officials of both bodies on Friday to hold talks about the financial implications surrounding the continued shutdown.
Top-flight clubs are considering cost-cutting measures amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Some EFL sides have already enforced such policies, like Leeds United, whose players, management and senior staff have volunteered to defer wages to enable non-football staff to be paid.
