Manchester United have cancelled their pre-season friendly with Preston on Saturday after a number of suspected coronavirus cases in their camp.
United were due to travel to Deepdale at the weekend to continue their preparations for the new season, but routine lateral flow testing on Thursday saw some possible positive cases returned. Those people are now isolating, pending further PCR tests.
A United statement read
“Maintaining COVID security is a priority for Manchester United.
Following routine testing of the first-team training group today (Thursday), we have identified a small number of suspected positive cases.
This has led to those people isolating, pending further tests.
As a precautionary measure based on COVID protocols, we have taken the difficult decision that we will not now be able to play the friendly match against Preston North End this Saturday (31 July).
We regret the disruption to Preston North End and disappointment caused to fans.
Any Manchester United supporters who have purchased tickets for the game will be automatically refunded.
At this stage, we do not expect further disruption around our forthcoming matches, but we will continue to follow Premier League protocols in this regard.”
