MANCHESTER UNITED’S postponed clash with Liverpool will be played on Thursday May 13.
And it means United will now have to play twice in just 48 hours – and THREE times in just five days.
Last Sunday’s clash between Man Utd and Liverpool was postponed in the 11th hour after furious protests against club owners the Glazers outside the Lowry Hotel and at Old Trafford.
It had been thought Liverpool’s trip to West Brom would be brought forward to allow the Old Trafford clash of the North-West giants to go back to its initial Sunday afternoon slot on May 16.
Instead, United’s game with Leicester has been shunted forward 24 hours to Tuesday May 11 with a 6pm kick-off.
And the match with Liverpool will now start at 8.15pm on May 13.
United will feel frustrated at the inconvenience and the rescheduling is a boost for Liverpool and their top four hunt.

However, Premier League chiefs will argue the Old Trafford club alone were responsible for the late call-off last Sunday.
United are also in action at Villa this Sunday following their Europa League second-leg clash with Roma on Thursday, meaning they will play four matches in just EIGHT days.
Elsewhere, their match against Fulham will take place on Tuesday May 18 before they finish their Premier League campaign at Wolves on May 23.
League bosses have also confirmed the dates and times for the penultimate round of matches in a fortnight, which will have home crowds of up to 10,000 fans.
Five matches will be played on Tuesday May 18.
Amongst those games are United’s clash with Fulham at 6pm and the potentially pivotal top-four fight between Chelsea and Leicester at 8.15pm.
