Manchester United have been handed a boost ahead of their Europa League visit from Sheriff after the Moldovan side's manager resigned.
Just two days before heading to Old Trafford, Sheriff boss Stjepan Tomas decided to quit after his side fell to their first league defeat of the season at the weekend.
Tomas, who took over in the summer, was left furious at the defeat to Petrocub.
Speaking afterwards, he said: 'It seems that the players were thinking about the match in Manchester, there was no concentration. This is my mistake.'
Sheriff actually sit six points clear of Petrocub at the top of their domestic league but Tomas was left feeling guilty that the loss was his fault.
