Manchester United have confirmed that their Europa League fixture against Moldovan side FC Sheriff will go ahead on Thursday.
All Premier League, Football League and Women’s Super League matches have been postponed this weekend as a sign of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away aged 96 at Balmoral on Thursday. United were originally scheduled to play Crystal Palace at 4.30pm on Sunday afternoon, but will now be granted more time off after their 1-0 defeat by Real Sociedad.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said: “We and our clubs would like to pay tribute to Her Majesty’s long and unwavering service to our country. As our longest-serving monarch, she has been an inspiration and leaves behind an incredible legacy following a life of dedication.
