Thereafter, the Premier League say that all elements of the pay-per-view service, including the price, will be reviewed ahead of top flight matches returning after the international break.

United's only other Premier League fixture before the next international break has already been selected for non pay-per-view broadcast with this coming Monday's hosting of Leicester City live on Sky Sports, in addition to the home clash against Arsenal on Sunday, November 22 after the November international break.

A Premier League statement released on Thursday afternoon read: "The Premier League today confirmed the remaining broadcast arrangements for matches taking place over the weekend commencing Friday 6 November.

"In addition to the live broadcast selections already confirmed, the remaining five games played over that weekend will be made available to supporters on a pay-per-view basis, shown via BT Sport Box Office and Sky Sports Box Office platforms.
