Why isn’t Manchester United vs Leicester live on TV in UK today?

Supporters are unable to watch Ruud van Nistelrooy’s final game as interim boss

Ruben Amorim starts work at Old Trafford on Monday and Van Nistelrooy will want to hand over to the new United boss with a win.

United thumped a second-string Leicester side 5-2 in the Carabao Cup last month in Van Nistelrooy’s first game in charge, and this should be a big occasion at Old Trafford as United fans prepare for the start of a new era.

The game was originally scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off time on Saturday 9 November but was pushed back due to United’s European commitments on Thursday, when they beat PAOK 2-0.

As such, it cannot be shown live in the UK, given it was originally meant to take place during the 3pm blackout imposed across English football on Saturday afternoons.
