Returning by train to Manchester after the final whistle will be impossible due to a reduced timetable between the northern city and London. Train operator Avanti West Coast will run a reduced timetable over the Bank Holiday weekend and the last direct train back to Manchester from London Euston is scheduled to depart at 9.39pm. A message sent to United ticket holders read: “We share your frustrations and appreciate the logistical difficulties that have been created for our fans by this fixture being scheduled for an 8pm kick off on bank holiday Monday in London. “I don’t have any doubts,” Ten Hag said recently on his job security.

“I’m just focusing on my job, focusing on this process, in this project. I really love to be here, I’m enjoying it. For me it’s a challenge. It will not go always in the right way, it’s not going always the results in the way we wanted but I’m sure we’re in the right direction and we will get where we want to be.”
