"Manchester United are on course to go more than four months without playing a fixture in the traditional Saturday 3pm slot. Ruben Amorim's side have played just three times during the 3pm blackout this campaign - the last time being a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest on 1 November. The Red Devils have also not played a Saturday 3pm kick-off at Old Trafford since beating Sunderland on 4 October."
"United are scheduled to play the most Sunday matches of any team not involved in Europe this season in the period since the start of the season to 23 February. Games on a Sunday up to 23 February: Bournemouth: 4 Brentford: 7 Brighton: 7 Burnley: 3 Everton: 5 Fulham: 6 Leeds: 5 Manchester United: 9 Sunderland: 5 West Ham: 5 Wolves: 4"
Manchester United have played only three matches during the traditional Saturday 3pm blackout this season, the last being a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest on 1 November. The club have not hosted a Saturday 3pm kick-off at Old Trafford since beating Sunderland on 4 October. Since the Forest draw, United have played six fixtures away from the 3pm slot and their next 14 games look likely to follow that pattern. A scheduled 3pm match on 28 February is expected to be moved because of Crystal Palace's involvement in the Conference League play-offs. Supporters expressed frustration at changed kick-off times and season ticket implications.
