Manchester United were forced to cancel their friendly with Stoke at the last minute after the Championship side had a player test positive for coronavirus. The sides met at United’s Carrington training centre but the match was immediately abandoned without kicking a ball when an unnamed Stoke player tested positive, with United insisting none of their squad came into contact with him.
