Manchester United’s Under 18 side took on their Blackburn counterparts away from home on Saturday morning.
The United lineup for the game was; Vitek; Lawrence, Bennett, Fredricson, Murray; Gore, Oyedele; Forson, Hansen, Mather; McNeill.
The five substitutes were Wooster, Aljofree, Ogunneye, Mainoo, Norkett for the game against the Lancashire outfit.
Of course, Storm Eunice had caused chaos across the United Kingdom on Friday and the impact was still being felt by kick off in this game.
The snow fell in the north west and it resulted in the game being halted early in the first half.
The match was eventually postponed as the snow got worse and worse as can be seen from the photos below.
Some fans on Twitter were complaining about the decision but it is quite hard to play football when the lines on the pitch cannot be seen.
It remains to be seen when the match will be completed but it seems likely that this will not be the only match up and down the country impacted by the weather this afternoon.
The match was in the Under 18 Premier League, where United currently sit ninth on 18 points.
This match would have been a test against Blackburn, because they sit second, eight points ahead on 27.
That test will have to wait for another day as United’s talented youngsters deal with a frustrating postponement.
