When the matches return, it is obvious to have to play away from the audience. However, how long the teams will have to endure that situation is something that no one dares to confirm.
The remainder of the Premier League this season with 9 rounds are expected to be played on 3 neutral courts. If the epidemic is controlled, the teams can return to their home fields as usual from next season. However, in a COVID-19 epidemic like the UK, the government of this country is unlikely to agree with large-scale gathering activities.
Manchester United have prepared an "end-of-the-year scenario" for their home stadium Old Trafford until the end of the season... next year. They could go through a whole season without welcoming any fans to their home stadium to ensure the best epidemic prevention work.
British sports authorities after last week's meeting were concerned that it would take at least six months before the ball rolls back for the courts to welcome fans. However, that is the minimum when the epidemic is controlled, as long as this period of time is longer.
From now on, the "Red Devils" top-up have prepared financial plans to cope with the nearly 12-month wait for fans at Old Trafford. They believe that as long as he successfully treats the COVID-19 vaccine, that will be the safe time.
Vice President Ed Woodward is the one who proposed the response plan for the coming period. He said that M.U's after-season shopping strategy has completely changed due to COVID-19. There will be no more "blockbuster" contracts and M.U will only sell, not buy.
Last season, M.U earned about 110 million pounds from ticket sales. This number will not be if they close the field from next season. Therefore, stars who receive "sky-high" salaries like Paul Pogba's departure will reduce many of the burdens that are on the shoulders of the leaders of Old Trafford.
