Manchester United have had four of their April fixtures handed new dates and kick-off times, following the announcement of the Premier League’s latest TV selections.
United are set to play five Premier League matches in April but the Old Trafford meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers remains unchanged.
Ruben Amorim and his players are still scheduled to welcome Wolves on Saturday 19 April, with the match kicking off at 15:00 BST.
United’s trip to the City Ground to face Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest side remains on April 1 but the meeting has been put back by 15 minutes to 20:00 BST instead of the original time of 19:45 BST.
The reverse fixture ended in a 3-2 loss for United, with goals from Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes not enough to overturn strikes from Nikola Milenkovic, Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood.
It was in the immediate aftermath of that loss that Dan Ashworth was shockingly dismissed from his role as United’s sporting director.
Five days after going away to Forest, United will host Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at the Theatre of Dreams.
The contest was originally scheduled to kick off at 15:00 BST on Saturday, April 5. However, it has now been moved to a 16:30 BST kick-off slot on Sunday, April 6.
The match will be part of Sky Sports’ Super Sunday coverage and will follow the earlier clash between Fulham and Liverpool. The reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium in December kicked off at the same time.
United will have the chance to complete a league double over the reigning Champions, having beaten them 2-1 in December.
On the other side of the derby day clash with City, United’s trip to St James’ Park to battle Newcastle on Sunday, April 13 will also be part of Sky Sports’ Super Sunday coverage, with the game being given a 16:30 BST kick-off time slot.
It was originally planned to happen the day earlier, at 15:00 BST.
United then close April with a trip to the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth on Sunday, April 27. Proceedings will kick off at 14:00 BST and will be broadcast on Sky Sports.

It’s important to note that Bournemouth vs. United will be re-arranged if either of the two sides advances to the FA Cup semi-finals.
