Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has admitted that the bizarre 7pm kick-off time against Everton on Sunday will allow the Reds more time to recover after their Europa League clash against Omonia Nicosia on Thursday.

United's Premier League match against Everton is taking place at 7pm on Sunday night due to a logistical issue, which means the kick-off has to be outside the normal kick-off times reserved for Sundays.

The match was originally chosen by BT Sport as their Saturday lunchtime match, but as the Reds are in Europa League action on Thursday, they cannot play until Sunday at the earliest.

While the kick-off time has not gone down well with supporters of either club, Portuguese international Fernandes has suggested that it will actually help him and his teammates to recover better after their long trip to Cyprus.

A display of invigorating aggression and imagination — Manchester United’s best under Erik ten Hag — was far too much for a tame Spurs side, second-half goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes bringing United to within four points of Spurs, with a game in hand. United were excellent in the first half, monopolising possession and pulling Spurs about with their passing and aggression. But, though they had 19 shots at goal — more than in any 90 minutes this season — and though Antony hit the post with a fine effort from distance, they only made one clear-cut chance, a shot from Marcus Rashford which Hugo Lloris tipped away.
