Liverpool and Manchester United have both made commitments to pay their matchday staffs, even if Premier League matches are cancelled during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Per Paul Gorst of the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool will pay those employees who were scheduled to work at Anfield in the three games that have been pushed back as a result of the suspension. In the report, it's said the cost will amount to around £750,000.

Meanwhile, BBC Sport noted that United will also ensure its staff is paid for the four matches that have been put back at Old Trafford, meaning it could shell out in the region of £1 million.
