November 6 marks the first Manchester derby of the season as champions Manchester City travel to Old Trafford, before United head to Champions League winners Chelsea on November 27 before rounding off the month by hosting Arsenal on November 30.
United face Newcastle and Burnley during the festive period and then host Wolves on New Year's Day before embarking on their winter break.
March and April will take on huge significance in United's season, with Manchester City, Tottenham, Liverpool, Leicester and Everton fixtures back to back, before Chelsea head to Manchester in the penultimate game of the season and United end their campaign away at Crystal Palace.
