Erik ten Hag might take Manchester United right-wing selection risk vs Omonia

By the time Manchester United's players arrive at Old Trafford on Thursday evening, they will have seen more of Omonia Nicosia in the past week than they have of the Theatre of Dreams in the past month.

United — who defeated the Cypriot outfit 3-2 away from home last Thursday evening — have not played on their own patch since the night the Queen died five weeks ago.

That evening, inside a flat Old Trafford, Erik ten Hag saw his side beaten 1-0 by Real Sociedad. The Queen's death meant that United's following home game — a Premier League clash against arch rivals Leeds — was also postponed.

The Queen's state funeral was scheduled to take place the following day and extra police officers were redeployed to London from the north.
