    ...to facilitate the people of the club can attend the Best's funeral on Saturday. I just heard a spokesman for Belfast on RTÉ radio 1 make the comment that the match at 17:15 will be cancelled. Checked a few web sites and nothing there yet about it.

    According to Man Utds Assistant Secretary Ken Ramsden the match will not be affected. He was on SSN 10 minutes ago. He even said club officials including Sir Alex will attend the funeral and then fly back for the game whick kicks off at 17.15.

    I know its not going to be postponed, they simply couldn't do that at such short notice (like it or not, people spend a lot of money arranging trips to Manchester for games, you can't ignore that)
