Four April games moved for television

Four April games moved for television

Changes have been made to four of Manchester United’s five Premier League fixtures in April, including the Manchester derby.

Our Old Trafford meeting with Wolves remains in the traditional 15:00 BST kick-off slot on Saturday 19 April, but the matches against Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Newcastle United and Bournemouth have all been moved for television.

The start time of United’s trip to the City Ground on Tuesday 1 April has been put back by 15 minutes to 20:00 BST, as TNT Sports are now showing the Forest fixture live.

Five days later, we will look to complete a league double over our crosstown rivals in the 196th derby, at Old Trafford.

The duel with Pep Guardiola’s side is a 16:30 BST kick-off on that Sunday, and Sky Sports are broadcasting it live in the UK.

There’s also another Sky Super Sunday date for the following weekend, as we travel to Newcastle.

Wolves’ visit to M16 on Easter Saturday is unaffected by the latest Premier League announcement, but our final top-flight encounter of April will now take place on Sunday 27 April.

Bournemouth are having a great season under Andoni Iraola and will hope to still be in the race for the European spots when they welcome us to the Vitality Stadium for a 14:00 BST kick-off.

Of course, United are also involved in the Europa League and Emirates FA Cup and may still have an interest in these competitions come the fourth month of 2025.

If we overcome Real Sociedad, we would play our Europa League quarter-final games on 10 and 17 April, against either FCSB or Lyon.

This year’s FA Cup semi-finals are scheduled to take place across the final weekend in April, and the Cherries clash would change if either we or Bournemouth make it that far.

United host Fulham in the fifth round on Sunday and tickets for the Old Trafford clash are still available to all fans.
