Manchester United promotion fate unclear after Premier League 2 cancelled

Manchester United's Under-23 side will have to wait to find out whether or not they will be promoted back to the top tier of Premier League 2 after the league was cancelled on Friday.

Neil Wood’s side were sitting second in the table behind West Ham when games were brought to a halt due to Covid-19. In the Premier League 2 second division, the top team gets promoted while teams ranked second to fifth go into a playoff for the final spot in the Premier League 2 first division.

After a successful campaign Wood’s side found themselves in a strong position to get back into the top tier but it is now not known what will happen.
