Manchester United have reportedly been left furious after their Premier League clash against Chelsea was brought forward to next Thursday.
Ralf Rangnick’s side were originally scheduled to host Thomas Tuchel’s men on May 15. However, the Blues’ progression into the FA Cup Final means the contest had to be re-arranged, as they will take on Liverpool at Wembley on May 14.
In order to combat the fixture congestion, the Premier League has re-scheduled the crucial clash to Thursday April 28 – meaning United will have to travel to Liverpool, Arsenal, and host the Blues over the course of nine days. And the Red Devils will have to face this ominous pile-up of fixtures while managing a mini-injury crisis which has since emerged.
