Premier League: Why Man United Won't Play on Saturdays for Two Months
- Manchester United will not have a match on Saturdays for the next two months once the Premier League restarts this weekend.
- Manchester United have a promising set of matches ahead as Ruben Amorim aims to climb higher in the standings.
- They will compete in three matches on a Monday and also on a Friday, yet strangely, there are no games scheduled on a Saturday during the specified time frame.
Major leagues across the globe are scheduled to restart this weekend following the international break, during which teams secured or failed to qualify for spots in the 2026 World Cup.
Other teams, such as Harambee Stars and Lionel Messi's Argentina, participated in exhibition games.
The Premier League returns on Saturday at 3:30 pm as Chelsea visits Turf Moor to take on Burnley. The highlight of the weekend will be the North London derby on Sunday.
Manchester United, having remained undefeated in their past five matches, will not play until Monday evening as they welcome Everton to their stadium.
Why Manchester United will not play on a Saturday for two months
Interestingly, the Red Devils will not have a Premier League match on a Saturday for the next two months, spanning 10 Premier League games.
Following the Everton game, the remaining nine matches will include two games on Monday nights, three on Sundays, three during midweek, and one on a Friday evening.
Their following match on a Saturday is scheduled for January 17 in the Manchester derby.
Manchester United's schedule is less busy this season following their failure to qualify for European competitions. They ended the league campaign in 15th place and lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.
According to BBC Sport, there are a few factors causing United to wait for an extended period before they are scheduled to play on a Saturday, primarily due to television broadcasting.
Manchester United's fixtures
All three Monday games were chosen as the Monday night television selections for that weekend. Their matches against Crystal Palace and Leeds United had been picked by TNT Sports to be broadcast on a Saturday, but these needed to be moved.
The Palace will face Strasbourg in the Conference League on Thursday, while Leeds United also have a Premier League match on the same day. Teams require over 60 hours of recovery, meaning both clubs are unable to play on Saturday.
The team's home fixtures against West Ham and Wolves, along with their away game at Burnley, are all included in the Premier League's midweek schedule during a busy time.
A few days before Christmas, they will face Aston Villa in the scheduled late Sunday match, whereas their encounter with Newcastle United is set for Boxing Day (Friday).
Additionally, during their streak of "no Saturday matches," United encounter no so-called top-six teams, offering them an ideal opportunity to gain momentum. They are currently in seventh place with 18 points, eight points behind the leaders, Arsenal.
Gabriel suffers injury
The Arsenal team now faces new worries following Gabriel's adductor injury during his time with the national team.
Mikel Arteta's team faces the challenge of the derby this weekend prior to their match against Bayern Munich.
