Man Utd will play just one Premier League game in January after schedule changes
Manchester United will play just one Premier League game in January after seven fixtures were moved for TV purposes.
Erik ten Hag's side, who currently sit sixth in the league table following a lacklustre start to the campaign, have lost 12 of their 24 games in all competitions this season.
Out of those 12 games, seven have been in Premier League competition, with defeats coming against Bournemouth, Newcastle, Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Brighton, Arsenal and Spurs.
They will once again face Ange Postecoglou's side on Sunday, January 14th, which will be United's only fixture next month after their away game against Wolves had its date amended.

The clash at Molineux, which was initially penned to take place on Saturday, January 30th, has been selected for live broadcast by UK rights holder TNT Sports.
It means United will play just one game in January, which could be a welcome break given their injury problems of late.
Ten Hag could be without 13 first-team players for their Premier League clash against Liverpool, including Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, who were forced off with injury in Tuesday night's Champions League tie against Bayern Munich.
In terms of the upcoming schedule, here are the revised fixtures in full below:
Tuesday 30 January 2024
19:30 Nott'm Forest v Arsenal (TNT Sports)
19:45 Fulham v Everton
19:45 Luton Town v Brighton

It must also be noted that because their Matchweek 22 matches have been moved to Thursday 1 February 2024, the next round of fixtures involving Bournemouth, Man Utd, West Ham and Wolves will move away from Saturday 3 February.
New dates and times for these fixtures will be be confirmed when the February 2024 broadcast selections are announced.
