Thursday night proved to be difficult both on and off the pitch for Manchester United.
With the news that broke less than two hours before the fixture, it was perhaps unsurprising that the match became somewhat of an afterthought at solemn Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag however would have been the first to say that the death of Her Majesty The Queen should not be used an excuse for United's performance in their first Europa League match of the campaign.
Ten Hag gave opportunities to several players who have yet to receive a proper run out this season. Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Casemiro, Fred and Cristiano Ronaldo were all given the opportunity to provide a headache for their boss.
