Explained: Why Man Utd have complained to Premier League about Crystal Palace clash

Premier League

Brighton

Manchester United

Crystal Palace

Aston Villa

The Red Devils will take on the Eagles at Selhurst Park on the Bank Holiday Monday, May 6, and the match will be shown live on Sky Sports. While Erik ten Hag's men have four league and FA Cup games to prepare for before then, they are not happy about this fixture in particular. Here's why.

WHAT HAPPENED?

United are not happy with the timing of this fixture as there is a reduced train service on the Bank Holiday Monday, meaning many fans will have to fork out more money to stay over in London, rather than getting the train back to Manchester that night. Train operator Avanti West Coast is running a reduced timetable over the Bank Holiday weekend and the last direct train back to Manchester from London Euston is at 9.39pm. Therefore, the Red Devils have put on a free coach service for their away fans, while also criticising the Premier League.

THE EXPLANATION

In a message sent to ticket holders, United wrote: "We share your frustrations and appreciate the logistical difficulties that have been created for our fans by this fixture being scheduled for an 8pm kick off on bank holiday Monday in London. We want to inform you that we are writing to the Premier League to this effect and will be asking for greater consideration to be given to match-going fans when agreeing fixture schedules with broadcasters."

WHAT MANCHESTER UNITED SAID

Ahead of the Palace clash, United travel to in-form Bournemouth on Saturday evening in the Premier League, before taking on Championship side Coventry City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on April 21 at Wembley.
