Why was theManchester United vs Brentford match postponed?

Manchester United’s match against Brentford at Old Trafford in the Premier League was postponed because of the team’s appearance in the EFL Cup Final versus Newcastle this coming weekend. Wembley Stadium in London will host the Carabao Cup Finalfor 2022-23on Sunday, February 26.

This necessitates rescheduling the fixture to a different date, however, that has not been decided upon as of yet. The rescheduled game will likely be played during the week since both teams already have weekend games planned for the rest of the season.
