January 2023: Dates for your diary

Across our teams, the Reds face 16 fixtures between now and the start of February, with FA Cup campaigns for both Erik ten Hag and Marc Skinner's sides beginning, alongside further fixture in other competitions.

As we embark on the New Year, here are the key dates for your diary, from the first team to the Under-18s…

In the following week, United compete in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup against Charlton Athletic, before Old Trafford plays host to the Manchester derby on Saturday 14 January. Pep Guardiola’s side beat the Reds 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium earlier in the season, and Erik will be looking for United to put that right this month.
