Manchester United cancelled all post-match press conferences following their 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad, after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died in Balmoral aged 96 on Thursday.
The Red Devils' Europa League campaign started with defeat, as Brais Mendez' 59th-minute penalty helped the visitors edge out the closely-fought contest.
Following Buckingham Palace's announcement at 6:30pm, Old Trafford fell silent in remembrance of the Queen ahead of kick-off.
