Manchester United are "fully committed" to the current season being completed

Manchester United have reaffirmed their commitment to the current season being completed, when football is allowed to return after the coronavirus pandemic. 

United have released a statement to confirm that the "club fully supports the collective intent to complete the Premier League, FA Cup and the UEFA club competitions".

The club's group managing director Richard Arnold has also announced that they're putting contingency plans in place for fan refunds, should the Premier League opt to play games behind closed doors:

"We appreciate the patience and the support we have had from our fans throughout this challenging time and welcome the constructive discussions we have had with MUST and fan representatives.

"We know our fans will not want to miss any games played in the coming months and will be disappointed if that is to be the case, but clearly we must all play our part in the efforts to combat coronavirus.

"By pushing the season ticket renewal deadline back and confirming our policy if games were to be cancelled or played behind closed doors, we want to ease any concerns our loyal fans may have in the current circumstances.

"They give Manchester United their support year after year, and at this time, we are committed to supporting them. Our message to them is clear - we are all in this together.

"In the event of behind closed doors or cancelled matches, season ticket holders will be offered a pro rata rebate against their season tickets for next season or a pro rata cash refund based on the number of games remaining.

"Rebates or refunds will also apply to supporters that have paid in advance for general admission tickets and VIP packages, while a rebate will be offered to seasonal Executive Club members.

"The season ticket renewal deadline of May 1 has been suspended and will be continuously reviewed, while United are continuing to look at other measures to support their fanbase at this time".
