Coronavirus UK: Luke Shaw asks to complete the season or to call it off

A number of Premier League teams have reportedly come forward to appeal to the FA to scrap the season. Liverpool, therefore, would have to wait for yet another year if the FA decides to terminate the 2019-20 season. Nevertheless, FA looks determined to complete the season when the coronavirus threat is under control. According to Luke Shaw, the season should be cancelled if the Premier League games cannot be completed in May. However, with the coronavirus UK situation showing little signs of improvement, finishing the season in May could prove difficult.

If we can’t carry it on it’s got to be void." However, if the Premier League season is cancelled, Man Utd will have to compete in the Europa League once more as they finished sixth in 2018-19 season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side started picking up the pace in the second half of the season and they were in with a decent chance of finishing in the Champions League spots.
