Fixtures: Who do we play around our European games?
Manchester United’s 2022/23 Premier League fixtures have been released in full this (Thursday) morning, with the schedule for Erik ten Hag’s first season starting to take shape.
The Reds will face Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on the opening weekend of the new campaign, in the first of five fixtures set to take place in August.
The dates and times of all league matches after matchday one are still subject to change however, and we are likely to see several alterations to the Reds’ schedule due to our participation in Europe.
Our Europa League campaign kicks off in early September and while we won’t know our group-stage opponents until the draw later this summer, we are now aware of who we will be playing around the six matchdays which have already been set in stone.
