Man Utd squad to spend extra day in Cyprus

Manchester United will remain in Cyprus overnight after their 3-2 Europa League victory at Omonia Nicosia on Thursday evening.

Erik ten Hag's side returned to the team hotel after the game and will train nearby before embarking for the flight home to Manchester on Friday afternoon.

The squad will be able to enjoy the warm weather in Cyprus for an extra day, with Ten Hag explaining his decision to remain on the Mediterranean island to reporters at the GSP Stadium.

“Because it's best in relation to recovery and to preparation for the game on Sunday," said Ten Hag.

United take on Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Sunday.
