Manchester United vs Leeds fixture postponed ahead of the Queen's funeral

Manchester United's fixture against Leeds United, due to take place on Sunday, has been postponed.

The whole football pyramid from the Premier League down to even children's football was suspended last weekend as a mark of respect following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday. United were supposed to face off against Crystal Palace but the match will now be played at a later date which has not yet been decided.

Now United have seen another game called off as the scheduled visit of Leeds United on Sunday has been put back due to a shortage of police officers ahead of the Queen's funeral on Monday, September 19. It was thought that games in London would be at the greatest risk but United have also fallen victim.
