Manchester United head into the new week buoyed by Saturday’s 3-2 comeback victory over Nottingham Forest and competitive wins for our Under-18s and Under-21s too.

In the coming days, the Reds will find out who our 2023/24 UEFA Champions League group-stage opponents will be, and we’ll also learn the first fixture in our defence of the Carabao Cup.

After the transfer window closes on Friday night, we’ll conclude another busy seven-day period with a Premier League trip to Arsenal.

Here are all the main events and anniversaries to look out for this week…
