Manchester United face hectic February fixture schedule after Leeds fixture confirmed

Manchester United's home Premier League clash with Leeds United has been confirmed for next month after it was postponed from its original September date in the aftermath of The Queen’s death.

The Reds will welcome the Yorkshire outfit to Old Trafford on Wednesday, February 8 at 8pm. The date had been provisionally announced last week, but was subject to neither side requiring an FA Cup fourth-round replay, which would have taken precedence over the league match.

Both clubs progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup, with United defeating Reading on Saturday and Leeds overcoming Accrington Stanley.

Erik ten Hag's side cruised past Championship side Reading 3-1 thanks to goals from Casemiro (2) and Fred. The victory over Paul Ince's men means that United are still the only side in England still competing on all four fronts.

United will now play eight matches in February, which begins with three straight home games against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup semi-final and Crystal Palace and Leeds in the Premier League. The Reds will then travel to Elland Road to face Leeds in the reverse fixture.

Following the top-flight clash with Jesse Marsch's side, United take on Barcelona in the first-leg of their Europa League play-off tie, with a Premier League match against Leicester City coming before the second-leg. Ten Hag's men end the month with a home clash against Brentford.

United's February fixtures:

  • Nottingham Forest (H) - Carabao Cup - February 1
  • Crystal Palace (H) - Premier League - February 4
  • Leeds United (H) - Premier League - February 8
  • Leeds United (A) - Premier League - February 12

  • Barcelona (A) - Europa League - February 16
