Michael Carrick’s Reds will open the campaign away to Championship play-off final winners Hull City on Saturday 22 August at 12:30 BST, live on TNT Sports in the UK.
We will also have newly promoted opposition for our first home game of the term, with Ipswich Town due to visit Old Trafford on the following weekend.
With five matches before September’s extended international break, trips to face Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and Fulham at Craven Cottage follow,
either side of the season’s first Manchester derby being contested with City at the Theatre of Dreams on 12 September. We’re set to go to the Etihad Stadium on 20 March.
Our earliest clash with Liverpool, now managed by former Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, is pencilled in to take place at Anfield on 21 November, before the reverse fixture in M16 on 23 January.
Champions Arsenal will be our last opponents before Christmas, when we make the journey down to the Emirates Stadium for an encounter that is provisionally on the calendar for 19 December. The second meeting in Manchester is lined up for 27 February.
United are scheduled to be at home to Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day, a traditional date in the English football calendar, while we’ll finish the season at Old Trafford too, with Fulham our final-day visitors on 30 May.
