Man Utd news LIVE: Europa League fixture going ahead, Red Devils ‘considered’ Paredes before Casemiro – latest

MANCHESTER UNITED’s Europa League tie at Sheriff Tiraspol will go ahead this Thursday.

United said in a statement: “Following discussions with the relevant governing bodies and in line with guidance issued by the UK Government, we can confirm our UEFA Europa League fixture against FC Sheriff will take place as scheduled on Thursday evening in Moldova.”

Elsewhere, the Red Devils considered lining up a move for Paris Saint-Germain ace Leandro Parades before securing Casemiro, according to reports.

It has been claimed that the Argentinian international was United’s top midfield target after the Adrien Rabiot deal collapsed.

Meanwhile, David Alaba has backed Casemiro’s decision to make the switch from Real Madrid to Manchester United despite Toni Kroos’ harsh verdict.

Alaba revealed that he was in the same situation a year ago and wished Casemiro good luck from the bottom of his heart.
