Man Utd see Champions League game shifted for Russian TV

Manchester United are having their Champions League game at CSKA Moscow shifted - for Russian TV!

The Mirror says United's Champions League fixture away to CSKA Moscow on October 21 will be played at 5.30pm.

While all Champions League games are usually played at 7.45pm, the kick-off time has been moved to accommodate Russian television.

The game will be played on the artificial pitch at the Luzhniki Stadium, where England - who also kicked-off early - lost 2-1 to Russia in a Euro 2008 qualifier in October 2007.
