#MUFC first team players still do know if today's game vs #LFC is going ahead or not. They've not been given a decision yet.
There are major concerns over what could happen to the LFC team bus as there are reportedly still fans outside the hotel.

This proved hugely unpopular, however, and quickly fell apart, though it seems Red Devils supporters are still keen to protest against their owners.
The Glazers have long been the target of fan wrath and it seems the Super League farce may be the final straw that broke the camel’s back.
