The week ahead at United

Monday 26 August 2024 07:00

There is scarcely a quiet week at Manchester United and the next seven days promise to be no different.

After we have learned our first Carabao Cup and Europa League opponents of the season, Erik ten Hag's side will face Liverpool at the end of the week, in our first competitive meeting with the Merseysiders since Jurgen Klopp handed the managerial reins to Arne Slot.

Our women's side are set to get back into pre-season action, after the weekend's game against Liverpool had to be cancelled due to a number of injuries in the opposition's ranks, while there are also a handful of Academy games for our Under-18s and Under-21s teams coming up.

All that will be alongside plenty of other United content dropping across our platforms throughout the week. Keep scrolling to get all the details...

TUESDAY 27 AUGUSTFollowing the Bank Holiday weekend, our Under-18s' season continues with an U18 Premier League Cup tie away at Leicester City (12:30 BST kick-off). The young Reds are setting out to retain the trophy, after defeating crosstown rivals Manchester City at Leigh Sports Village at the end of last season to take the honours.

We'll also be hearing from new United Women signing Elisabeth Terland, who arrived this summer from Brighton & Hove Albion. The Norwegian striker has sat down with club media for her first interview as a Red, so be sure to keep an eye out for that dropping on ManUtd.com and in the United App.

WEDNESDAY 28 AUGUSTThe first of two cup draws for the men's side takes place, as we learn our first Carabao Cup opponents of the new season when the third-round draw takes place on Wednesday evening. It will be conducted live on Sky Sports following the round-two tie between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.

FRIDAY 30 AUGUSTTen Hag is expected to provide the latest team news and more in part one of his press conference with journalists ahead of Sunday's game. His side will also learn its fate in the UEFA Europa League as our opponents for the new league phase are confirmed on Friday.

You will be able to enjoy a second United Women new-signing interview of the week; this time it's Anna Sandberg in the hot seat, who joined the Reds from BK Hacken this summer.

Our Under-21s also return to Premier League 2 action, taking on Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park in the evening (19:00 BST kick-off).

SATURDAY 31 AUGUSTThe final pre-match pieces before the men's game on Sunday will start to come together as we bring you part two of Ten Hag's media briefing, alongside our own exclusive Q&A with the Dutchman.

Our Under-18s will also be in action again, this time for a U18 Premier League fixture against the Merseysiders (11:00 BST KO).

Following Friday's draw, our league-phase schedule for the UEFA Europa League is set to be confirmed too.

SUNDAY 1 SEPTEMBERThe wait will be over for Ten Hag's men to face Slot's Liverpool, with kick-off scheduled for 16:00 BST.

Join us on MUTV, ManUtd.com and in the United App before the game for exclusive build-up, including our Matchday Live show from 14:55 BST. You can then stick with us after the referee's first whistle for live updates, reaction and interactive content throughout and after the match.

Before then, United Women are due to take to the field, as pre-season preparations continue for Skinner's side behind closed doors at Carrington. The Reds will host Championship outfit Newcastle United in our second fixture of the summer, at 14:00 BST.
