No sooner have we closed the book on another Premier League campaign than we find ourselves counting down the days until a season-opening trip to Hull.
Manchester United will face the Championship play-off winners on Saturday, August 22, at 12:30, five days shy of a decade since the Reds’ previous league visit to the MKM Stadium.
Michael Carrick’s men are set to tackle five outings before the international break in September, with another newly promoted side, Ipswich, the guests at Old Trafford in gameweek two.
The season’s first Manchester derby will be contested at M16 on September 12, with the return at the Etihad scheduled for March 20.
Another key date sees United’s first meeting with Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool at Anfield on November 21. While the Stretford End is already eager to welcome the Merseysiders on January 23.
Arsenal will present a final challenge before Christmas, with the match at the Emirates set for December 19, before the teams meet again in Manchester on February 27.
Interestingly, Carrick will eye a season-ending brace of home fixtures against Leeds and Fulham, either side of a potentially compelling away tie against Spurs in North London.
