Aston Villa also calling off training tomorrow.
Surely that's very simple and straightforward for the PL? Just award the match to United 3-0. Job done.

Can we have the ridiculous boxing day future re Brentford off....
Too much money involved. A bunch of games will probably be postponed but the show must go on wherever and whenever possible.
Manchester United a bit covid-y now
Tuesday’s Premier League match between Brentford and Manchester United has been placed in doubt after a number of Ralf Rangnick’s squad tested positive for Covid-19.
United won 1-0 at Norwich on Saturday, with a late penalty from Cristiano Ronaldo. Everyone who travelled to Carrow Road had tested negative in the last round of routine tests. However, on Sunday morning, a small number of positive lateral flow tests were found among the players and staff, who were all sent home. The rest of the squad trained outdoors and the schedule was adjusted, taking in individual and non-contact sessions.
It is understood the Premier League has been notified of the results by United and it is not clear if Tuesday night’s match at Brentford will be able to go ahead.

You'd think that if Tuesday's game can't go ahead, then our game on Saturday may be slightly at risk too, given the requirement for 10 days isolation would extend beyond the weekend.

Was going to that game.
Oh well. Will do some Xmas shopping instead and hopefully Jools Holland will still be on at the Apollo in the evening.

If only we could go into hibernation like the humble hedgehog or tortoise, then wake again as Spring arrives. A kind of natural lockdown. Would make life so much easier to bear.

I have asked this question before but how many men down do you need to be to get your game called off? I am hearing on the radio about a top rugby club with 8 men down who are having to field a team of kids.
It seems to me that if you play a Big sport and if you are a Big club in a Big sport then you are allowed to make the decision yourself, based on self-interest.
Sounds like a paradigm of the whole history of HMG's covid management.

Cardiff had 42 players out on Saturday ... they played a load of kids, someone who'd retired and the groundsman
Munster had 34 players out ... and still beat Wasps with a bunch of kids!
Football's far too precious

I have tickets to my first Brighton game since we lost 3-1 at Bournemouth in early 2020, and it might be called off
