Why the fixture moved

Manchester United's October fixture update says this match was shifted back by a day because Bournemouth were due to participate in the UEFA Europa League on the preceding Thursday. The Premier League's fixture-amendment notice also links the Sunday scheduling to European participation. The change forms part of a wider revision to United's October programme: the club says all four of its Premier League games that month were rescheduled.
