In the case of Manchester United, the postponement of Premier League matches due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II caught up the trip last weekend and next. That is, in mid-September, the Red Devils faced an unusual scenario in the current season: in the space of 11 days they had only two games, both for the Europa League and separated by an entire week.
Still, the atmosphere at Old Trafford was far from favourable. Last Thursday, the same day Elizabeth II died, Manchester United received Real Sociedad and lost in the group stage of the Europa League thanks to a penalty from Brais Méndez. So a week later and against Sheriff in Moldova, Erik ten Hag’s side naturally needed to win to keep their hopes of progressing through the second European competition intact.
