With Real Sociedad picking up the win at Old Trafford, United cannot afford to drop many more points if they hope to ease through Group E and lighten the load of their schedule.
With Leeds this weekend already postponed, it provides a last opportunity for Erik ten Hag to pick up more momentum before returning on 2 October against Manchester City.
It also provides another opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo to prove he can adjust to the Dutch tactician.
