Man Utd’s overall fixture list for the Premier League season looks fairly forgiving, with just one instance of facing back-to-back clashes against classic top-four opponents. This happens in December when they meet Arsenal a week before the Manchester derby.
The Red Devils ease into the season with four fixture passing before having to face their first top-10 finisher from the 2016-17 term in Everton, and finding their first top-four finisher in Liverpool eight games in.
Big things are expected from Jose Mourinho in his second season at the helm, with qualification for Champions League football likely a must as the club continue to spend heavily in the transfer market.
