West Ham v Manchester United Premier League clash to be rescheduled due to King Charles III coronation
West Ham and Manchester United will reportedly see their Premier League clash on 6 May to be rescheduled as it coincides with a grand coronation.
According to reliable Hammers news outlet Six Foot Two, the game will be rescheduled as it coincides with the coronation day of King Charles III.
As the game is at the London Stadium it may have to be played at a later date with the league having time until 28 May which is the final day of the season.
More delays
This is yet another delay in what’s expected to be an extremely long season for the Hammers who are fighting on many fronts.
Apart from the Premier League and the domestic cups, they also have European responsibilities due to their participation in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
They’re all set to qualify for the knockout stages as group winners and David Moyes would surely be targeting that as it seems to be the club’s best chance of qualifying for the Europa League and Europe next season.
There are a few teams that could give them some trouble along the way, but it’s fair to say that the Hammers are among the frontrunners to win the tournament.
The fans certainly will love another cup run and will finally want one to end with the trophy in their hands.
These delays will undoubtedly cause worries for West Ham as they’ll have to fit in European games as well and that could see them playing two games a week on numerous occasions post the World Cup.
