Manchester United are set for a delay to resume their Premier League campaign - but Erik ten Hag and his players will lace up their boots against European opponents Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday afternoon.
After humbling defeats to Brighton and Brentford in their opening two games, United have since claimed 12 points against Liverpool, Southampton, rock-bottom Leicester City and Arsenal to revive early-season optimism. However, by the time they next play in the main competition, almost a month will have passed between league meetings.
Following the Queen's death last Thursday afternoon, a decision was taken to postpone all Premier League games over the weekend as United were scheduled to visit Crystal Palace. However, their midweek match against Spanish opponents Real Sociedad did take place amid guidance from relative authorities.
