Manchester United fans attempting to tune into Sky Sports+ to watch the club's Carabao Cup tie against Leicester City on TV were left frustrated after temporarily being unable to access the broadcast.
Viewers trying to log into the channel were met with a nine-word message and a cryptic code on a blue screen. The message said: "There is a technical issue.
Please try again later", showing a code and ID sequence underneath. United supporters were not the only fanbase to be left annoyed by the malfunction, which left some unable to watch the first few minutes of several Carabao Cup matches on their TV screens.

It is thought that the error only emerged on smart TVs rather than laptops and PCs. Casemiro scored inside 15 minutes for United, to give them the lead against Leicester.
