Premier League outfit Manchester United have revealed that they support the ambition of completing all tournaments this season, despite the major impact caused by the coronavirus lockdown. Manchester United issued a statement offering season ticket holders a pro-rata rebate against their season tickets for next year, or a pro-rata cash refund if the season is cancelled or played behind closed doors. While the threat of the COVID-19 still looms large, Manchester United are currently sixth on the Premier League table before the English top-flight was suspended.

There have been rumours of the Premier League possibly getting cancelled with another option of the season being labelled null and void. But Manchester United have made their stance clear on the coronavirus pandemic situation insisting that the games in their respective competitions should be completed.
