MANCHESTER UNITED fans are raging their game against Leeds tonight is NOT live on TV.
Erik ten Hag’s side meet their rivals at Old Trafford for the first time this season, looking to make it 14 home wins on the bounce.
The game was meant to be played on 18 September but was postponed following the death of Her Majesty Elizabeth II.
Bizarrely, this evening’s fixture comes just four days before the teams meet again at Elland Road on Sunday.
Although it’s United’s only free week until the middle of March due to Europa League and FA Cup commitments, so there wasn’t much choice.
The Red Devils face Barcelona in their two-legged play-off round later this month before hosting West Ham in the fifth round of the cup on 1 March.

Despite it being the only Premier League fixture taking place, it’s not being shown live on either Sky Sports or BT Sport.
Even though each of their four meetings since Leeds have been promoted back to the top-flight have been picked for TV.
And United fans on social media are far from happy with the decision.
One said: “What a joke.”

A second admitted: “The fact that all English premier League games are not televised is an actual embarrassment, you can watch them all in the US.”
A third chimed in with: “Why would they not broadcast this game, it’s a rivalry?”
Another said: “Ridiculous that a game of this magnitude isn’t on the TV.
“People pay a ton of money yet don’t get access to all the games. Something must change.”
