This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Omonia Nicosia at Tsirion Athlítiko Kentro when the Europa League tournament arrives in town and Manchester United with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
These teams have little in common geographically as Manchester United have to travel 4400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only four days ago. That game, against Manchester City, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Manchester United.
