Manchester United have complained to the Premier League about their fixture list for the remainder of the year.
Morale is high at Man United right now following two positive results in a row. The Red Devils bounced back from their disappointing 3-1 defeat at the hands of Brentford by defeating Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim's side then travelled to Liverpool with many expecting them to taste defeat. They were able to pull off a shock at the home of their fierce rivals, though, as goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire saw them emerge 2-1 victors.
While things are going well on the pitch, they aren't too happy with how they are going off it - and they've made their feelings known to the Premier League.

According to the Athletic, Man Utd have spoken to the Premier League to express their concerns about the number of midweek games they are scheduled to play in the remainder of 2025.
In the three months between October 25 and December 25, United will play only one home match on a weekend. That comes this weekend against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Their next three home matches - against Everton, West Ham and Bournemouth - will then be played in midweek. They welcome Everton to Old Trafford on Monday November 24. West Ham travel to the Theatre of Dreams on Thursday December 4, and they'll face Bournemouth at home on Monday December 15.
There is a very good chance their next home game against Newcastle, their first match after Christmas, will also be played in midweek. It is yet to be confirmed by the Premier League but the Athletic state that it will likely be played on Boxing Day, a Friday, with an 8pm kick-off.
And their next final game of the year, at home to Wolves, is also likely to be played midweek.

Man Utd fans are not impressed with the fixture scheduling. The Old Trafford club received a letter from their Fans’ Forum complaining about these issues given the greater difficulty and cost of attending games during the week compared with weekends.
United have sympathised with the view of fan representatives and share their same concerns. Their CEO, Omar Berrada, has spoken to Premier League counterpart Richard Masters to make the club's stance clear. It is said the two had a constructive conversation.
United, along with the other Premier League clubs, agreed to an increased number of Monday and Friday slots in the new broadcast contract as it would be more lucrative for them. But the Red Devils feel as if they've been hard done by as they've had to host games on these days more than others.
