The officials have been confirmed for Manchester United’s home clash against Omonia on Thursday, 13 October in the Europa League at Old Trafford.
When Omonia visit Old Trafford on Thursday, Manchester United will want to put more burden on Real Sociedad in Europa League Group E.
Last week's match-up saw the Red Devils prevail 3-2 over the Cypriot team, but the underdog visitors undoubtedly gave the 20-time English champions a rather stressful evening.

United supporters who survived the trip to Omonia last week may have been planning for another uncomfortable trip home when Karim Ansarifard handed the Cypriot champions a 1-0 lead before halftime given that they were facing Neil Lennon, a fairly familiar figure.
However, Erik ten Hag's substitutions were highly effective, as a double from Marcus Rashford and a goal from Anthony Martial, a fellow substitute, flipped the game around before Nikolas Panagiotou scored even another consolation for the hosts.
When Man United resumed their Premier League responsibilities against a tenacious Everton team, another comeback attempt was on the cards. Everton had taken the lead through Alex Iwobi before Antony and Cristiano Ronaldo answered for Man United right before halftime.

Man United's disastrous start to the season is now a thing of the past, and they are now in the Champions League discussion. They are currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, and their six points from three Europa League games place them second in Group E, below a flawless Sociedad team.
Ten Hag will be concerned about the Red Devils' nine goals allowed in their last three games across all competitions, even though defensive absences have played a considerable role in that.
The Red Devils have ended up losing their last two home European games to Atletico Madrid and Sociedad, and they have never lost three consecutive European games at Old Trafford.
The confirmed match officials have been announced for match week 4 of the Europa League. The men in charge at Old Trafford can be seen below.
