The likelihood of Manchester United playing an overseas friendly at the beginning of April is receding.
With no European football this season, it had been expected the club would try to recoup some money by playing a midweek friendly.
The idea gathered momentum once United were knocked out of the FA Cup at the third round stage as it opened up three free weekends.
However, the first of those has now passed and while there remains a slim chance United could go somewhere immediately after the March international break as they have no game until 11 April, the window for arranging something is narrowing.
In addition, there are concerns about potential disruption to United's target of securing qualification for next season's Champions League, with fifth now virtually certain to be enough following the latest round of European fixtures.
"There is not a black and white answer with that one," said interim boss Michael Carrick. "We will make a call.
"It is not straightforward. It would depend on where the game is, what it is like, what time it is and when the fixtures fall."
United made around £8m from their two-match post-season tour of Asia in 2025.
