UNITED'S REMAINING PREMIER LEAGUE FIXTURES 2019/20* 19 June - Tottenham (A) 20:15 24 June - Sheffield Utd (H) 18:00 30 June - Brighton (A) 20:15 4 July - Bournemouth (H) 8 July - Aston Villa (A) 11 July - Southampton (H) 15 July - Crystal Palace (A) 18 July - West Ham (H) 26 July - Leicester City (A) *June kick-offs are in UK time. July match dates subject to change. How come such a big gap between the penultimate and final games? Otherwise seems to be what we expected, two games a week or so. The lack of any 'pre-season' won't help but 2 games a week should be normal for United players once they get their fitness up again.

Yup. Straight knock-out tournament that will be finished in less than 2 weeks.

Yeah, its not ideal really. Hopefully we will be fully up to speed by then and without any injuries (bar the usual) so we will be in a good position to win it.

It'll help some teams more than others. For example I think the odds of Simeone finally winning the CL rose (albeit I'd still have them 4th favourites at best probably). It's more conducive to upsets I think, which isn't great for us as one of the probably two best teams on paper in the EL.

You can have a bad 90 minutes but with the 2nd leg still have a chance to rectify it. This team in particular have shown they can be brilliant and appalling in equal measure.

Unsurprisingly, Gomes is leaving.

Pretty great run this now, 14 games unbeaten and I'm very confident we'll at least avoid losing our next six league matches at least so we'll be pushing for that 4th spot for sure.
Great time for Martial and Rashford to be hitting these figures.
Feeling positive about our chances in the Europa League and FA Cup, too.

Not bothered really. Says a lot when Lingard, Andreas and Mata start ahead of him and on those rare occasions he got game time, he did nothing.
