English giants will be taking on Sheffield United in a Premier League clash on Wednesday night and those without broadcasting subscriptions could very well still watch the match live.
"Watch the Man United match tomorrow, keep up with them all the time on their WhatsApp Channel," the chatting service said in a tweet on X, accompanying it with a link not too long after initially sending out the communication.

The reason behind why the Red Devils are using WhatsApp to stream the game is because it will not be broadcasted anywhere in the United Kingdom.
This is because, according to the Express, the game is taking a month after it was originally scheduled to due to the Manchester side's progression in the FA Cup causing fixtures to be rearranged.
Current rules indicate that a fixture cannot be shown life unless it is moved from the original time-slot specifically for television coverage.
