What's happening at United this week?

Arsenal and Crystal Palace visit the Theatre of Dreams, while United Women are also in action in the Women's Super League.

The Under-23s and Under-18s also play, so there is a total of five Reds matches over the next seven days.

As if that's not busy enough, Monday began with the announcement of Ralf Rangnick as United's interim manager until the end of the season.

Rangnick will take over as interim boss in due course, subject to work visa requirements.

That's the big news on Monday but elsewhere a new episode of the UTD Podcast is available. This time, it’s not a former United star behind the microphone but one of the voices of some incredible United moments, in former ITV commentator Clive Tyldesley. The episode will be available on Monday from 17:00 GMT in our Official App before appearing on other streaming platforms on Tuesday.

Happy birthday to United’s all-time appearance maker and 13-time Premier League winner Ryan Giggs, who turns 48 on Monday. The club would also like to wish United Women goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley a very happy 25th birthday.

If you’re coming to the game, make sure to arrive early and meet Patrice Evra who will be signing copies of his new book in the Megastore from 15:00 GMT.

FRIDAY

The Megastore has a busy week this week, with another club legend in attendance the very next day. Captain Marvel himself, Bryan Robson will be in store on Friday from 16:00 GMT signing copies of the DVD for his new film, Robbo. Combine your legend-meeting afternoon with a trip to the Museum & Stadium Tour, where you can see the very spot where Bryan signed for United 40 years ago, ending the tour in the Megastore.

On Saturday, the first team will be making their final preparations for this weekend’s clash with Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Our Under-18s are in action away at Everton in the U18 Premier League. Kick-off at Finch Farm is set for 11:00 GMT and you can watch our coverage live on MUTV from 10:45 GMT.

Ahead of the Crystal Palace game on Sunday, we’re running a special Legends Tour with former player Jimmy Greenhoff, who scored the winner in the 1977 FA Cup final. The tour includes access to the Museum and plenty of time to ask those burning questions about life at United from someone that lived and breathed it. Book online now for a pre-Christmas day out.

SUNDAY

The week ends with three games across the club. The first-team match between United and the Eagles starts at 14:00 GMT. MUTV’s Matchday Live programme commences at 12:55 GMT and will provide you with pre-match build-up, live radio commentary and post-match analysis.
