What's happening this week at United?

Monday 27 September 2021 07:00

It's set to be another busy week at Manchester United no fewer than six games taking place for the club's various teams.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have two home fixtures to look forward to in the space of four days as we face Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday before Everton come to Old Trafford for a Premier League clash on Saturday. 

Marc Skinner's United Women will be in Women's Super League action at the weekend with a journey to Birmingham. As well, our various Academy sides will also play several important games this week, so there's plenty to look forward to over the next seven days. 

Here's how the week shapes up...

On Tuesday, it's 17 years since a young Wayne Rooney announced himself to the Reds faithful in the same competition, scoring a hat-trick on his club and Champions League debut against Fenerbahce.

WEDNESDAY

Floodlights, the music, the fans. United welcome Villarreal for a very special European evening at the Theatre of Dreams, with kick-off set for 20:00 BST. 

Our Under-19s will also face the Yellow Submarine's youngsters in the UEFA Youth League at 13:00 BST. 

THURSDAY

The Reds will recover following Wednesday's Champions League clash as attention turns to the weekend's return to Premier League action, a home meeting with Everton. 

FRIDAY

Ole will once again address the media, before our encounter with the Toffees. You can watch the manager's press conference on MUTV, ManUtd.com and the Official App - usually from 13:30 BST.  

As the weekend starts, we also want to mark the birthdays of two of the club's greatest young talents. It's 85 years since the birth of the late, great Duncan Edwards, while recent Academy graduate Mason Greenwood turns 20.
