David Moyes is unhappy with the Premier League and BT Sport over West Ham vs Manchester United's kick-off time due to their Europa Conference League semi-final on Thursday.
The Hammers host AZ Alkmaar next week in the last four of Europe's third competition. Initially, United were set to travel to the London Stadium on Saturday, May 6 for the early kick-off.
But, due to King Charles III's coronation in the capital yesterday, the decision was made to move the match to Sunday at 7pm to avoid a clash with the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
However, Moyes has been left frustrated by the call citing the fact it will interrupt his team's preparations for their next fixture.
