Manchester United will be eager to avoid a familiar pitfall when the 2024/25 Europa League begins.
Squad management will be important for Erik ten Hag next season as Manchester United attempt to bounce back from an injury-hit 2023/24 campaign.
One of the challenges for next season will be to successfully navigate multiple competitions, namely the Europa League and Premier League schedule.
United will be playing Europa League matches on Thursdays, and Premier League games on Sundays. This can mean a tight turnaround for the domestic games, especially if they come after away trips, and the Red Devils have come unstuck here in the past.
Europa League dates set
The re-formatted Europa League means there are eight group stage games which only begin in late September and drag on into late January.
It is certainly a change from the norm, yet we can be thankful UEFA are not cramming all eight in before Christmas.
After Manchester United’s eight opponents were confirmed in the Europa League draw, the fixture dates and kick-off times have now been set.
25 September 2024: FC Twente (H) 8pm
3 October 2024: Porto (A) 8pm
24 October 2024: Fenerbahce (A) 8pm
7 November 2024: PAOK (H) 8pm
28 November 2024: Bodo/Glimt (H) 8pm
12 December 2024: Viktoria Plzen (A) 5.45pm
23 January 2025: Rangers (H) 8pm
30 January 2025: Steaua Bucharest (A) 8pm
