What's on this week at United?
The first full week of May could be a historic one for Manchester United.
The Reds are on the brink of qualifying for an eighth major European final and will do so barring a remarkable turnaround from Roma in Italy on Thursday.
Another away trip, to Aston Villa on Sunday, lies in wait, while our other three teams are also in action. Here’s the dates for your diary…
MONDAY
Monday evening sees our Under-23s travel to Derby County in the Premier League 2 Division 1, in a game which will be broadcast live on MUTV at 19:00 BST. A win would see Neil Wood’s youngsters leapfrog the Rams in the league going into the final game of the season.
