It’s safe to say that ex-Man City playmaker David Silva enjoyed his trips to Old Trafford while he was in the Premier League. He was integral to Sociedad’s win at Old Trafford last night on the opening night of the Europa League group stages.
It’s widely expected that Premier League fixtures scheduled for this weekend are going to be postponed. Britain will mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
