What is happening at United this week?

Erik ten Hag's Reds have two huge games across the next seven days, taking on Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford on Tuesday before facing Manchester City - also at the Theatre of Dreams - on Saturday.

United Women will return to league action after their warm-weather training camp in Malta to take on Liverpool, while both of our Academy teams have fixtures too.

With plenty to sink your teeth into, here's everything you can expect at United during the week ahead...

MONDAY

We'll begin our look ahead to Tuesday's clash with Charlton Athletic, with Diogo Dalot conducting a fans' conference ahead of the quarter-final. Check out our official platforms to watch the live stream, with the highlights and key stories available to enjoy thereafter.

In addition to the pre-match media briefing, the Reds will also take to the Carrington training pitches to prepare for Tuesday's cup match. Images and highlights from United's session will be available to peruse on ManUtd.com and in the United App.

TUESDAY

Just four days after our FA Cup triumph, Ten Hag's side are back in action, as we welcome Charlton to the Theatre of Dreams. Kick-off for this quarter-final clash is at 20:00 GMT, and it will not be broadcast live in the UK. However, you can still tune in to MUTV for our live pre-match show, which starts at 18:55 GMT as well as following the action and reaction on ManUtd.com and in the United App.

On this day in 1995, Andy Cole signed for the club. Fellow United legend Patrice Evra arrived at the club on the same date in 2006.

Happy birthday to current United Women forward, Rachel Williams!
