I have heard a crazy amount of people saying that United are going to use the weather as an excuse to get the game postponed until Pogba is available

They'll be disappointed then. There's hardly any snow coming now.

If they defer it till Pogba is available we will be so far ahead we can put out a 5 a side team and it wouldn't matter

It would be just as much in our favour as the rags for a postponement. We'd have Stones back. Maybe even Mendy. And we will have all but sealed the title. In fact, wouldn't it be great if we played there having won it,with them having to give us a guard of honour.

The cabbage patch is heated, so no probs regards the playing surface ( apart from the usual divets and sand bunkers).
The AMBER warning applies only to areas south of Manchester, not Manchester itself . I.e. , the M6.(see map).
So, as stated elsewhere, the main concern is the travel safety of the home fans....

Both correct. They must play it now. It will be irrelevant soon.

How's weather looking chaps. Lots of snow in London so rags may struggle to get to the game...

Snowing in the eastern Pennine foothills and not forecast to get above freezing until Monday - I wouldn't want to be on the M62 in this.

Not a flake of snow here in Manchester. But bitter tears on the menu later today for a variety of Cockney, Irish and Scandinavian football fans.

More than three flakes over here and the country shuts down though.
