Manchester United Faces Grueling January Fixture List Under Amorim

Manchester United concluded a difficult 2024 with a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle at Old Trafford. As the new year begins, head coach Ruben Amorim faces a daunting schedule in January, crucial for reversing the team's fortunes.

The month starts with a high-stakes Premier League clash against league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on January 5. This is followed by an FA Cup third-round tie against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on January 12.

Returning to Old Trafford, United will host Southampton on January 16 and Brighton & Hove Albion on January 19. These fixtures offer opportunities to gain valuable points in the league.

In the Europa League, United is scheduled to play Rangers at home on January 23, followed by an away match against FCSB in Romania on January 30. These matches are critical for the team's progression in European competition.

Additionally, a Premier League fixture against Fulham is set for January 26 at Craven Cottage. This match has been rescheduled to a 7 pm kick-off, following United's request for more recovery time after their Europa League match against Rangers.

Currently, Manchester United sits 14th in the Premier League with 22 points from 19 matches. In the Europa League, they have accumulated 12 points from six games, placing them sixth in their group. This challenging January schedule will test Amorim's squad depth and resilience as they strive to improve their standings both domestically and in Europe.
