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. In response, supporter Sam on X said: "Knew a Saturday 3pm kick-off was too good to be true." Fan Chris wrote: "You buy a season ticket with the premise the games will be played at 3pm on a Saturday.
