What's happening on Wednesday?

Tuesday 04 October 2022 14:50

Wednesday is an eventful day at Manchester United, as we ramp up preparations for Thursday's Europa League game with Omonia Nicosia in Cyprus.

Erik ten Hag's side fly out to the Mediterranean island on Wednesday afternoon, in what is only our second visit to Cyprus - we played Israeli side Maccabi Haifa there in the Champions League, 20 years ago.

Prior to stepping on to the plane, however, United will train at Carrington, while Ten Hag will also hold his pre-match press conference here in Manchester.

Here's a quick guide so you know what to expect on Wednesday...
