After seeing Sunday's scheduled trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace postponed, Manchester United will be determined to get back on track when they face Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
The trip to Moldova — which will mark the first-ever meeting between the two clubs — presents United with the opportunity to try and get their first point[s] on the board in Group E, after being beaten 1-0 by Real Sociedad in their opening fixture last week. Manager Erik ten Hag, following the 3-1 win over Arsenal four days earlier, made the decision to rotate his pack for the visit of the Spanish outfit to Old Trafford, making six changes.
It was a decision that came as no great surprise. United are overwhelming favourites to escape the clutches of Group E as group winners and they have more than enough strength in depth to ensure they get the job done.
