Following the announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II at 6:30pm on Thursday evening, Manchester United, out of respect, chose not to release the team news on their social media for their Europa League clash with Real Sociedad until 45 minutes later.
When it was eventually shared on the club's Twitter account, it had a much more familiar look to it than many of us had anticipated.
Despite making six changes to the side that toppled Arsenal just four days earlier, Erik ten Hag chose a starting line-up that featured names who had each played a key role in the club's recent upturn in fortunes.
David de Gea, Diogo Dalot, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Antony all clung onto their places, with the likes of Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Scott McTominay among those forced to make way.
