“The leagues will not recommence until 30 April at the earliest. They will only do so when it is safe and conditions allow.
“Further meetings will take place next week with a view to formulating a joint plan to deal with the difficult circumstances facing the leagues, their clubs, players, staff and fans.”
Manchester United, meanwhile, today confirmed that they are committed to completing the current campaign.
“The club fully supports the collective intent to complete the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA club competitions,” the Red Devils said in a statement.
Group managing director Richard Arnold confirmed that United are prepared to refund their supporters if the season is expunged from history, however.
He said: “We appreciate the patience and the support we have had from our fans throughout this challenging time and welcome the constructive discussions we have had with MUST (Manchester United Supporters Trust) and fan representatives.
