    What's the story

    In a major blow to football, the Premier League has been postponed until April 30 due to coronavirus pandemic.

    However, Manchester United will continue to pay all the casual staff and workers even if the season gets suspended or is played behind closed doors later on.

    United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward stated that the club is concerned about the staff's security, come what may.

    Quote

    The club aims at reducing the financial uncertainty

    "This goodwill gesture reflects the club's desire to reduce the financial uncertainty facing its casual workforce, and is in recognition of the crucial role they play in delivering services to supporters," said the club in a statement.

    Following an emergency meeting with the 20 clubs on Thursday, it was decided that all professional football in England will remain suspended till April 30.
