Manchester United will return from the foreign break with a different start time to Sheffield United this weekend.
The Red Devils will record back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they take on the Blades on Saturday night, live on talkSPORT.
Erik ten Hag’s men were due to arrive at Bramall Lane on Sunday after the October internationals.
But United’s trip to Sheffield was brought forward a day and will now take up position at 8pm. Saturday. Here’s why. . .
That match was postponed due to United’s Champions League commitments.
United were due to cover part of Sky Sport’s Super Sunday provision when the broadcaster made its TV selections in August.
But back in September, Champions League fixtures were announced and it was shown that United would host FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford on Tuesday, October 24.
Premier League groups can’t play on Sunday and then the following Tuesday in Europe, so that game had to be postponed.
Sky Sports still has the rights to broadcast the match and at 8 p. m. It is the only time available to receive United.
TNT Sports occupies Saturday’s 12:30 p. m. kickoff time. m. , and the afternoon maximum is limited by the 3 p. m. block rule. m.
Sky had already committed to broadcast Chelsea’s clash against Arsenal in its normal time slot of 5:30 p. m. , leaving 8:00 p. m. the only time available for United to appear on television.
It will be the second time this season that the Red Devils have played off-hours on Saturday night, having beaten Burnley 1-0 last month.
