Manchester United fans seeking real-time transfer updates encountered obstacles Sunday evening as Sky Sports' dedicated live blog experienced technical issues.

The service interruption occurred at 19:52 on December 21, 2025, with visitors receiving notifications about content unavailability. Users were advised to check back later or modify their cookie preferences to restore access.

While transfer rumors remain temporarily inaccessible, Sky Sports promoted its festive football programming, highlighting over 200 live matches and darts coverage available through subscription services. The broadcaster emphasized flexible viewing options for non-subscribers seeking immediate access.
