Manchester United will go ahead with fans attending Old Trafford for their clash with Fulham.

The decision to allow 10,000 fans into the ground for Tuesday's game against Fulham was reviewed on Friday following anti-Glazer demonstrations, says the Daily Mail.

What had been considered a formality following the Government's decision to ease lockdown restrictions was thrown into doubt by Thursday's protest before the defeat by Liverpool.

But after urgent talks between United and their safety advisory group — made up of Trafford Borough Council, local police and emergency services — a safety certificate for the Fulham game was eventually issued late in the day.

United will now welcome fans into Old Trafford for the first time in more than 14 months, going back to the Manchester derby in March last year.

The move could be considered a big gamble in light of the trouble that has flared at home games since United's role in the failed European Super League led to a backlash against the Glazers.
