      FANS were forced to turn off TNT Sports after they were hit with major technical issues during coverage of Manchester United’s win over Copenhagen.The new broadcaster, a rebrand of BT Sport, has taken on Champions League coverage in the UK for the 2023-24 season.

      But in just the third round of fixtures, they suffered a serious malfunction as a blaring crackling sound beamed through TV speakers across the country.
      It is unclear what happened to cause the terrible audio problems.
      But supporters watching on at home let rip for the poor production quality – with one even using a Jose Mourinho meme of him taking off his headphones to suggest they had switched channels.
      One tweeted: “What is this c**p audio we are paying for??

      Another wrote: “F*** me TNT Sports is so amateurish! Can’t they afford decent sound equipment!?!”
      A third commented: “Sort that awful sound out TNT Sports. We can actually hear the producers talking too, ‘Is it the same for Laura?’ Yes love.”
      A fourth said: “Someone’s getting sacked tomorrow from TNT’s sound team.”
      A fifth raged: “TNT sound is dreadful.”

      A sixth fumed: “F*** sake @TNTSports, sort your audio out!”
      Another moaned: “These sound issues all night on TNT is ridiculous.”
      And a final user quipped: “TNT Sports letting the transition year students have a crack at the sound on the United game.”
      Presenter Laura Woods also had to think quickly earlier in the night during the build-up to the Champions League game.
      Paul Scholes’ microphone suddenly stopped working as Woods came to the rescue and then jokingly gave the ex-United midfielder a ticking off.
      Scholes then pretended to throw his dodgy piece of kit away.
      After the game – which the Red Devils won in dramatic fashion thanks to Andre Onana’s 97th-minute penalty save – there were more issues for TNT Sports as Woods had to give her microphone to Erik ten Hag for his live on-air interview.
      And to make matters worse, there were more complaints during the post-match analysis and interviews because the sound was out of sync with the pictures.

      But he somehow managed to break his microphone live on air in a hilarious blunder.
      And that prompted presenter Woods to step in and come to the rescue – before jokingly tell Scholes off.
      After asking Scholes a question and realising his mic was not working, Woods seamlessly and immediately held out her microphone for Scholes to speak into.
      He continued with his answer perfectly – with the sound picked up from Woods’ microphone.

      Then when he had finished, she joked: “Stop breaking the mics… what are you doing?”
      An unimpressed Scholes then pretended to throw the dud microphone away, prompting laughter from Woods and Rio Ferdinand.
      The trio were doing their pre-match preparations for United’s crunch Champions League clash.
      Erik ten Hag’s men lost their opening two matches in Group A – to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.

      And that meant the pressure was on going into the game with the Danish giants.
      Thankfully Scholes’ microphone was sorted out by the time they came back from the advert break.
      It was an emotional night at OId Trafford, with a wreath laid on the pitch in honour of Sir Bobby Charlton.
      The United and England legend passed away aged 86 on Saturday, with the news made public just hours before his former team kicked off at Sheffield United. More

      That is according to the Daily Mail, who state that “clubs are braced for a rearranged festive fixture list that could see Christmas Day left as the only one without a televised game”.
      Premier League execs are currently making their amendments to the match schedule for the back end of December and January.
      They have already announced their TV picks and alterations for the first round of games for December.
      And now they hope to confirm the Festive fixtures and their new timings early this week.

      This fresh update states that “scheduling a first Premier League game on Christmas Eve since 1995 has been on the agenda” for bosses.
      Wolves’ home clash with Chelsea is the favourite for the controversial TV spot but that has received fierce backlash since speculation emerged last week.
      Top-flight teams are aware that further changes have been discussed and that they would enable supporters to watch at least one match per day – except for December 25.
      However, there are a number of factors to be considered before any official announcement such as travel issues, policing and broadcasters.

      This report also states that “at least one match is in line to be pushed back as far as January 2” with the FA Cup third round taking place over the opening weekend of the New Year. More
