Four Under-23 games have been moved

Monday 13 September 2021 11:33

Manchester United can confirm that a number of changes have been made to the Under-23s' fixture list for the coming months.

The Reds will compete in the UEFA Youth League during 2021/22, which kicks off this week when we face Young Boys just a few hours before the first team begin the club's Champions League campaign.

Unfortunately, the tie in Bern will not be live on MUTV due to COVID-related restrictions.

Clarification of our group-stage fixtures in the Youth League has also led to alterations to the dates and kick-off times of a number of our Premier League 2 engagements.

Games against Brighton, Liverpool, West Ham and Tottenham are the fixtures to have been adjusted.
Our home games against Brighton and Liverpool, which will take place at Leigh Sports Village, will now take place a day later than originally planned.
 
We host the Seagulls on Saturday 18 September (kick-off 12:00 BST) and the Merseysiders will visit on Saturday 2 October (kick-off 14:00 BST).
 
Our trip to West Ham has also been pushed back a day. We'll visit Rush Green Stadium on Saturday 23rd October (kick-off 15:00 BST).
 
Meanwhile, our away trip to Tottenham comes forward a couple of days. The match, which was originally scheduled for Monday 1 November, will now take place at the Lamex Stadium on Saturday 30 October (kick-off 12:00 BST).

The next planned MUTV live Academy coverage will hopefully be the Under-18s' Premier League Cup tie at Birmingham City on Saturday, subject to approval from the hosts, and the Papa John's Trophy clash at Bradford City on the following Tuesday.
