Complete guide to the Man United first-team schedule in April

As the month rolls on, the second leg in Spain against Sevilla forms part of an arduous week that is followed, only a couple of days later, by the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. Brighton & Hove Albion provide the opposition with the match details still to be confirmed but likely to take place on the Sunday.

Whatever happens in the capital, we’ll be back in London on the final Thursday of April, tackling Tottenham in another huge fixture in the battle for a top-four spot. This is a later start, at 20:15 GMT, with live coverage on BT Sport.

And the last of the nine key encounters is back at home, when Aston Villa head north for a game again not selected for live TV broadcast in the UK. Like Brentford, they are one of the teams to have beaten us in the corresponding fixture, so hopefully this will present the perfect opportunity to put things right and maintain our march in the top flight.
