Fans WILL be able to watch Newcastle United v Manchester United BUT things are changing

However, when the October live TV matches were announced, this one wasn’t included.

So as things stand currently, Newcastle United v Manchester United is set to go ahead at 3pm on Saturday 17 October with no fans in the UK able to watch it live…legally.

The Wolves and Everton matches were selected, giving us the upcoming match schedule shown below.

However, reports from both The Times and The Sun today, say that Newcastle United v Manchester United WILL be able to be watched live by fans, along with all of the other Premier League October matches not originally selected for live showing in the UK.

They report that the 20 Premier League clubs are meeting today (Friday), with a new arrangement to be agreed and later announced, for watching the matches that aren’t part of the originally agreed contracted match schedule to be screened live by Sky, BT and Amazon. The Sun state that the games will not be on TV and instead supporters will have to access matches via their personal devices through BT and Sky apps.

Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford has vowed to continue the fight to support vulnerable children after being made an MBE.

The 2020 Queen’s Birthday Honours list was due to be published in June, but was pushed back to enable nominations for people playing crucial roles during the first months of the crisis.

Rashford, 22, launched a high-profile campaign which resulted in the Government changing policy over its free school meals vouchers during lockdown, helping ensure children in need did not go hungry during the summer break.

The England forward has maintained his drive for social change by since forming a child food poverty task force, which has linked up with some of the UK’s biggest supermarkets and food brands.

Reflecting on his ‘humbling’ MBE, Rashford vowed to continue fighting to protect the most vulnerable children.

‘I’m incredibly honoured and humbled. As a young black man from Wythenshawe, never did I think I would be accepting an MBE, never mind an MBE at the age of 22,’ Rashford said in a statement via Manchester United. This is a very special moment for myself and my family, but particularly my mum who is the real deserving recipient of the honour.

‘The fight to protect our most vulnerable children is far from over. I would be doing my community, and the families I have met and spoken with, an injustice if I didn’t use this opportunity to respectfully urge the Prime Minister to support our children during the October half-term with an extension of the voucher scheme, as the furlough scheme comes to an end and we face increased unemployment.
