The game was originally scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off time on Saturday 9 November but was pushed back due to United’s European commitments on Thursday, when they beat PAOK 2-0.

As such, it cannot be shown live in the UK, given it was originally meant to take place during the 3pm blackout imposed across English football on Saturday afternoons.
