The reason for the timing is, of course, our midweek commitments in Bilbao, as the Reds lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.
The desperately disappointing end to our unbeaten record in Europe all season means the Reds have to pick ourselves up for the 16:00 BST kick-off against the Midlanders.
United could finish 14th with a victory, depending on results elsewhere, as it will be hoped the players can put Wednesday's frustrations behind them.
