What's happening at United this week?

Erik ten Hag’s side have yet more midweek action in the diary, with domestic trophy focus turning to the Emirates FA Cup, while our women’s team can look forward to a return to action in the WSL.

Aside from on-pitch matters, there are a host of birthdays and key landmarks that we will be celebrating and looking back on.

Below, you will find a comprehensive breakdown of everything that is ahead of the Reds over the course of the next seven days…

MONDAY

We will be reflecting on another memorable trip to Wembley as Ten Hag’s side lifted the Carabao Cup, with further reaction to the showcase match, including exclusive behind-the-scenes access.

Lioness Mary Earps will discover her fate in FIFA’s Best Women’s Goalkeeper award category, with their award ceremony taking place from 20:00 GMT.

Casemiro is in contention for the FIFPRO men’s world XI – which is based on players’ performances from August 2021 until December 2022 – as part of the 26-man shortlist which also includes former Red, Cristiano Ronaldo.

TUESDAY 

Expect attention to turn to  Wednesday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie against West Ham, as we host the Hammers at Old Trafford. Ahead of this one, Ten Hag will host his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, and it will be available to read and watch on ManUtd.com and in our app from 12:30 GMT onwards.

This should feature the latest team news for the Old Trafford encounter and we'll also be releasing some photographs from training.

WEDNESDAY

It's back to action for the Reds. as United host West Ham in the FA Cup. Kick-off at Old Trafford is 19:45 GMT, and this game will be broadcast live on ITV1 and STV in the United Kingdom. Our Matchday Live show on MUTV begins at 18:40 GMT and live radio commentary of the encounter in M16 will follow.

As March begins, keep an eye out for the opportunity to vote for our Player of the Month and Goal of the Month for February. 

Tommy Taylor – our 15th all-time top goalscorer with 131 strikes to his names across all competitions – signed for the Reds on this date in 1953, joining from Barnsley. Tommy was one of our cherished Busby Babes who sadly died in the Munich Air Disaster, just under five years later.

THURSDAY

Reaction from our cup tie against West Ham will continue, with the 90 in 20 and Full-90 versions of our match highlights available to view.

On 2 March 1991, Ryan Giggs made his league debut for the club, replacing Denis Irwin in a 2-0 home defeat to Everton.

Attention will again begin to turn towards another matchday, with United travelling to Liverpool on Sunday in the Premier League, as previews ahead of the fixture will be published.

FRIDAY

Ten Hag will address the media ahead of our clash with Liverpool, with part one of the manager’s press conference likely to be available for fans to take in from Friday afternoon.

With that will also come further pre-match coverage stepping up a notch with build-up and analysis being available across ManUtd.com and in our official app.

We will also reveal the winners of our men’s and women's Player-of-the-Month awards at the end of the week, after a successful February.

SATURDAY

Our Under-18s will be the first Reds side to play over the weekend, as Travis Binnion's youngsters travel to Leeds United for a 12:00 GMT kick-off on Saturday. The game will be broadcast live on MUTV; with updates during the match in our app. Following the fixture, a report and highlights will be available across our official platforms. 

There are perhaps few groups of Reds forwards that fans will remember more fondly than those of the 1990s, and there were iconic moments from two of them, in successive years, to reflect on from this date.

Andy Cole famously scored five goals in our 9-0 win over Ipswich Town at Old Trafford – a feat that has only since been repeated once since, by fellow ex-Reds frontman, Dimitar Berbatov, in December 2010.

One year on, Eric Cantona scored a stunning volley in a crucial 1-0 win away to Newcastle United, giving us a crucial psychological edge over the Magpies in that season’s title race, during which the Reds eventually lifted the Premier League crown.

SUNDAY

Both the first team and Marc Skinner's United Women will be in league action, with Ten Hag's side making the trip to face Liverpool at Anfield. Kick-off on Merseyside is set for 16:30 GMT, with live coverage on Sky Sports in the UK. Our Matchday Live show on MUTV begins at 15:25 GMT and it will be followed by live radio commentary for the 90 minutes.

Meanwhile, Skinner's Reds will be looking for a positive result against Leicester City, in what is our first WSL encounter since a goalless draw against Everton three weeks ago. It’s a top-against-bottom league clash, and United will be looking for a win to remain at the division’s summit.

Two of our current Reds also celebrate their birthdays, with Fred and Harry Maguire both turning 30 on the same day. Many happy returns to you both!
