Man Utd won’t play on Boxing Day for first time since 2009
Manchester United will not play on Boxing Day, a day that is traditionally reserved for football on the English calendar.
The day after Christmas is a big day in the Premier League, with nearly every team having a game.
However, the United website has confirmed that they will instead play in December 27th, when they take on Newcastle United.
