The match was originally scheduled to kick-off at 20:00 but it was confirmed that it would be pushed back to 20:05.
The reason given was 'due to significant traffic congestion in the Manchester area.'
The United bus only arrived at the ground 43 minutes before kick-off.
The players only came out for their warm-up at 19:41.
