But our first team aren’t the only United side in action, with the Reds’ Under-23s and Under-18s kicking off their league campaigns.
Chuck in a few significant anniversaries and birthdays and there really is a lot to look out for over the next week…
MONDAY
We start with Neil Wood’s Under-23s, who began the season with that excellent 6-0 EFL Cup win over Salford City last week. Now attention turns to their maiden league match of 2020/21, with the Reds taking on Leicester City at Leigh Sports Village (19:00 BST). The match can be watched in full on MUTV, with live coverage starting at 18:45 BST.
