Why Leicester trip is United's last game of March

Sunday 16 March 2025 09:24

After Manchester United's Premier League meeting with Leicester concludes on Sunday, the Reds will have to wait until April to play another competitive game.

The March international break immediately follows our fixture at the King Power Stadium (19:00 GMT), while our elimination from the Emirates FA Cup also means we will not have a match on the weekend of 29//30 of the month either.

Our next game will be a midweek trip to in-form Nottingham Forest on Tuesday 1 April (20:00 BST), which will mark the beginning of the final straight of the 2024/25 campaign.

Team news: Leicester v United

Ruben Amorim has a positive update ahead of our final game before the March international break.

Nuno Espirito Santo's team have been the surprise package in the Premier League so far this term, and showed no signs of slowing down when they beat Ipswich 4-2 away on Saturday - as former United winger Anthony Elanga netted twice.

After our trip to The City Ground, we have the Manchester derby, two Europa League quarter-final legs against Lyon, a trip to Newcastle and meetings with Wolves and Bournemouth to contend with during a busy April.

The match against the Cherries will be postponed, however, should they beat Man City in the Emirates FA Cup and progress.

Now that Lyon were confirmed as our Europa League quarter-final opponents and the Wolves match was moved to the Sunday of the originally scheduled weekend, due to our Europa League progression, our full April schedule is taking shape.

APRIL FIXTURES
1 April - Nottingham Forest v United (20:00 BST)
6 April - United v Man City (16:30 BST)
10 April - Lyon v United (20:00 BST)
13 April - Newcastle v United (16:30 BST)
17 April - United v Lyon (20:00 BST)
20 April - United v Wolves (14:00 BST)
27 April - Bournemouth v United (14:00 BST)*
