What's happening this week at United?
Ralf Rangnick will take charge of his first Champions League match and Premier League away game as Manchester United interim manager this week.
It's a pretty hectic start to life in Manchester for the German, who saw his team beat Crystal Palace 1-0 on Sunday in his debut in charge at Old Trafford. This week, the 63-year-old would like to add two more wins when Young Boys come to the Theatre of Dreams on Wednesday before the Reds travel to Carrow Road for a league encounter with Norwich City three days later.
Meanwhile, United Women complete the week with a Women's Super League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion and our Under-19s are also in UEFA Youth League action on Wednesday, welcoming Young Boys to Leigh Sports Village.
There are also some major anniversaries and the FA Cup draw to look forward to in a busy seven-day period at United. Here's how it shapes up...
