Manchester United have had a potential advantage for the Europa League final taken away from them.
The competition’s showpiece event is due to take place on May 21, and United look set to make the final after winning the first leg of their semi-final 3-0 away at Athletic Bilbao last week.
They appear likely to face fellow Premier League side Tottenham after they beat Bodo/Glimt 3-1 last Thursday, and United had been scheduled to have a significant advantage with their fixture list prior to the final.
The Red Devils are facing Chelsea on Friday, May 16, while Spurs were due to travel to Aston Villa two days later, giving them less time to recover for the final.
However, following a request by Spurs to the Premier League, their match has now been moved forward so that it will also be played on the Friday night.
