Manchester [UK], May 6 : The postponed Premier League clash between Manchester United and Liverpool will now be played on May 13, the organisers have confirmed.
Manchester United's Premier League clash against Liverpool on Sunday had to be postponed after fans entered Old Trafford and onto the pitch to express their anger towards the club's owners. The fans even went on to target the Lowry Hotel, where the United players were staying, and blocked the team from making it to the stadium.
"New dates and kick-off times for fixtures in Matchweeks 35 and 37, as well as the postponed match between Manchester United and Liverpool, have been confirmed," Premier League said in an official statement.
