Understanding United's Midday Kickoff: The Reasons Behind the Timing

The match in France is set to begin at 21:00 local time (20:00 GMT). In an effort to provide teams in the Premier League with at least 60 hours between matches, the change to a Sunday fixture now allows for a 64-hour gap for Oliver Glasner’s squad.

Due to our game at Selhurst Park, three of the later Premier League matches have been rescheduled to kick off at 14:05 GMT to prevent any possible overlap.

Aston Villa will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers, Nottingham Forest will host Brighton & Hove Albion, and West Ham United will face Liverpool.

The London derby featuring Chelsea and Arsenal will still take place at 16:30 GMT.
