Manchester United vs Leeds called off because GMP officers will be in London for the Queen's funeral

Manchester's United's clash with Leeds has been postponed due to policing concerns.

The Premier League match was set to be played at Old Trafford on Sunday. However, Greater Manchester Police officers are being sent to London for the Queen's funeral, the following day, which will stretch resources.

The match between United and Leeds is considered a 'category A' fixture, which would require extra policing compared to other fixtures. Liverpool's visit to Chelsea and Brighton's fixture against Crystal Palace have also been postponed, with the remaining seven fixtures confirmed to go-ahead.
