The Red Army were able to travel to the Europa League final in Gdansk in May, which took place at a neutral venue, but the last true away day was in early March 2020, when thousands descended on Derby in the FA Cup fourth round, where a 3-0 win was accompanied by a raucous atmosphere. That Sunday's 2-1 friendly win was back at Derby seems fitting.
We've had some incredible moments away from home during the COVID-19 pandemic – think victory against PSG at the Parc des Princes, that dramatic finale in Brighton, a thrashing of Real Sociedad, yet another away win at City or the Cavani-inspired comeback at Southampton – but each has been tinged with the sadness of what could have been for United's brilliant travelling support.
