Man Utd’s early 2026 schedule
United start the new year with trips to Leeds and Burnley before their first FA Cup clash of the season, in the third round of the competition.
A strong start to the new year could put Ruben Amorim’s side in good standing to qualify for Europe. They will need to build on the form they showed in October to achieve that.
January includes two difficult fixtures against title contenders Man City and Arsenal, but there are other, more winnable games that month.
Saturday 4 January: Leeds United (A)
Wednesday 7 January: Burnley (A)
Saturday/Sunday 10/11 January: FA Cup third round (TBC)
Sunday 25 January: Arsenal (A)
Sunday 1: Fulham (H)
