Manchester United’s March schedule has been changed as the Premier League adjusts fixtures for European commitments. This alteration will affect interim manager Michael Carrick’s team during a crucial part of the season.
As the campaign reaches its critical phase, organizers have had to make further changes, especially for clubs participating in European competitions.
Although United isn’t in Europe after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham, they are still impacted. The match against Aston Villa has been rescheduled.
The game will now take place on Sunday, 15 March, at 14:00 GMT, as confirmed on Manchester United’s website.
The change is due to Aston Villa’s participation in the Europa League earlier that week and adds an interesting dynamic to United’s upcoming matches, as Villa is currently just ahead of Carrick’s team in the Premier League standings.
In their last encounter, Aston Villa took the lead with a stunning goal from Morgan Rogers, but Matheus Cunha equalized just before halftime. Villa then secured a 2-1 victory at Villa Park, where Bruno Fernandes sustained a rare injury.
The defeat impacted Ruben Amorim’s job security, and he was only seen on the sidelines three more times before being dismissed in January.
With potential UEFA Champions League qualification on the line, particularly with an increased chance of five English teams in the competition next season, this rescheduled game could be significant as the season progresses.
