This week at United
As the Premier League season draws closer to its conclusion, we round up the notable events, birthdays and anniversaries at Manchester United, from Monday to Sunday.
MONDAY
While the players recover from the weekend's arduous 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford, MUTV subscribers will be able to watch the latest instalment of The Paddy Crerand Show, as the club icon discusses the ramifications and repercussions of the result with fans on the phone lines and his fellow former player, David May. It's on air at 18:30 BST.
After Paddy's programme ends at 19:30 BST, MUTV will show The Impossible Dream, a special new documentary on our Treble-winning season of 1999, produced in collaboration with NBC Sports.
We'll be wishing another MUTV pundit and ex-Reds star Kevin Moran a happy 63rd birthday, and recalling that United beat Barcelona 1-0 on this day in 2008, courtesy of Paul Scholes’ thunderous first-half strike in the Champions League semi-final second leg.
TUESDAY
It's another birthday for an Irish Red - after Moran on Monday, Tuesday is the turn of former United centre-back John O’Shea. The man who made 256 appearances, over a period of 11 years, turns 38.
Anniversary-wise, two years have now passed since the Reds set a new club record of 25 games unbeaten, by drawing 1-1 at home to Swansea City.
WEDNESDAY
Today marks 20 years since we beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Old Trafford, with David Beckham bagging the winner as Sir Alex Ferguson's Treble chasers secured three Premier League points.
THURSDAY
Speaking of Beckham, today is his 44th birthday. The former England midfielder rose through our ranks to establish himself as a respected no.7 with his spectacular trademark free-kicks.
Meanwhile, the current players will be stepping up their preparations ahead of this weekend's penultimate league fixture against Huddersfield Town.
FRIDAY
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to brief the media ahead of the Huddersfield game; the location will be the Aon Training Complex, with the time to be confirmed closer to the day.
Today is the anniversary of a famous night at Old Trafford, back in 1993 when we were crowned as the first ever Premier League champions. The title was already in the bag but goals from Ryan Giggs, Paul Ince and Gary Pallister overturned Kevin Gallacher’s opener in a 3-1 win for United against Blackburn Rovers.
On this day in 2003, David Beckham netted his last-ever goal at the Theatre of Dreams, in a 4-1 win over Charlton Athletic.
SATURDAY
It's the eve of the Huddersfield game and we'll be keeping an eye on another fixture affecting the top-four race: Bournemouth v third-placed Tottenham at 12:30 BST.
Today marks 28 years since Ryan Giggs made his first start for United and was credited with his first goal as the Reds beat Manchester City 1-0 in the derby at Old Trafford.
Also on this date, Wes Brown made the first of his 362 appearances for the Reds, in a 3-0 win over rivals Leeds in 1998.
SUNDAY
Solskjaer’s side will make the 37-mile journey east for our final away match of the season against Huddersfield. Kick-off at the John Smith’s Stadium is at 14:00 BST, with the usual live build-up beginning across our channels at 12:30 BST.
As we continue to commemorate our Treble-winning campaign, the game played 20 years ago today was a tough 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield.
