One of the scenarios on the table will be to play the current campaign to completion once the Covid-19 pandemic has subsided. A boardroom source at one club expects Premier League chairmen and chief executives to opt for the plan that suits their own agenda.
According to the Mirror, Manchester United are set to vote against cancelling the season, and only to postpone it. This means that Liverpool will still most likely go on to win the Premier League, much to the dismay of many Manchester United fans.
However, a club's reasons could be completely selfish too.

United are currently fifth in the Premier League, only three points behind fourth-place Chelsea. However, after missing out on the Champions League last season, if United miss out on the Champions League for consecutive years, their current Adidas kit sponsorship is slashed dramatically by a reported 30 per cent.
This comes after recent comments from West Ham United vice-chairman, Karren Brady, who believes the Premier League season should be cancelled. This was seen by the many as a way to save her team with West Ham currently placed 16th in the table, and tied on points with 18th-placed Bournemouth who sit in the relegation zone.

It will be no surprise if the majority of teams vote in their own interest. However, even though United's decision may seem selfish, it won't stop people thinking that in some way, they will be helping Liverpool win their league title of the Premier League era.
