The Premier League has apologised to Manchester United and their supporters after their match with Crystal Palace was rearranged with less than two weeks' notice.
United will now play four games in just 12 days after the Premier League confirmed that Erik ten Hag's side will take on Palace on Wednesday, January 18 (8pm GMT). The match was initially called off back in September following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
And now the Premier League has given fans just 10 days to make arrangements to travel to the game.

A statement from the Premier League read: "After the results of this weekend’s FA Cup third-round ties, a new date for the postponed Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United at Selhurst Park can now be confirmed.
"The Palace v Man Utd match will take place on Wednesday, January 18, 8pm GMT kick-off. The Premier League apologises for the late notice in confirming this fixture and understands supporters’ frustrations.
"While the League endeavours to give greater notice for rescheduling, the unique circumstances around these fixtures mean we were unable to."
It now means that after United play Charlton in the Carabao Cup quarter-final on January 10, then face three Premier League games against Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Arsenal all within eight days.
