Man Utd fixtures: Red Devils handed easiest first six games

Manchester United will begin their first full Premier League campaign under Michael Carrick away at Hull City on the opening weekend of the season.

Carrick's side have been handed statistically the easiest opening six fixtures, facing another newly promoted team in Ipswich Town in their first game at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils welcome Manchester City for the first Manchester derby of the season on Saturday, September 12, the same week as they make their return to the Champions League.

United have to travel for their first meetings with Chelsea in October, Liverpool in November and Arsenal in December but have the luxury of facing them all at home in a 35-day period between January and February.

Their final game of the season will see them host Fulham in a repeat of their final day fixture of the 2022/23 season.
