Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay were reportedly left 'furious' after Manchester United refused to allow them to engage with protestors outside The Lowry Hotel.

Players at the team hotel pleaded with club officials to allow them outside to speak to fans protesting on Sunday.

United supporters gathered in their masses to demonstrate against the Glazer family as they protested outside The Lowry Hotel and stormed onto the pitch at Old Trafford.

It is believed that club captain Maguire, Fernandes, Matic and McTominay wanted to communicate with the angry protestors and tried to convince staff to allow it to happen ahead of the scheduled kick-off.

However, the club said no and the four senior squad members were left 'absolutely furious', according to James Cooper.

Despite the police dispersing the crowd away from The Lowry Hotel and Old Trafford, the Premier League clash was postponed.

The highly-anticipated fixture, which was supposed to kick-off at 16:30 (U.K time), was called off just after 17:35.

The league issued the following statement: "This is a collective decision from the police, both clubs, the Premier League and local authorities.

"The security and safety of everyone at Old Trafford remains of paramount importance," added the Premier League.

"We understand and respect the strength of feeling but condemn all acts of violence, criminal damage and trespass, especially given the associated Covid-19 breaches.

"We sympathise with the police and stewards who had to deal with a dangerous situation that should have no place in football."

United vs. Liverpool will be rescheduled.
