Why isn’t Man United vs Charlton Carabao Cup clash on TV in UK?

Manchester United and Charlton tonight face off in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, but think twice before reaching for the TV remote.

United are cruising under Erik ten Hag and victory tonight of the third-tier Addicks would be their eighth on the bounce for a team who have come out of the World Cup break with plenty of momentum.

Having scored 12 goals, and conceded just one, in five games since the restart, United are expected to reach the last four of the League Cup tonight, but only those at Old Trafford will be able to see the match unfold live.

In a rarity for a cup game featuring United, the game has not been selected for live television coverage in the UK.

Instead, high-flying Newcastle United's game against strugglers Leicester City will be broadcast on Sky Sports, as the oil-rich Magpies look to reach the last four of this competition for the first time since 1976.

United fans can still tune into the official pre-match build-up on MUTV from 6.55pm, ahead of the 8pm kick-off.
