The Premier League fixtures for the 2016-17 season have been released today and Manchester United will travel to Bournemouth on the first day of the season.
José Mourinho’s first Premier League game in charge of the Reds will take place at the Vitality Stadium on the south coast and he will be determined to get off to a good start against Eddie Howe’s men.
United’s first game at home is against Southampton on August 20 and the first Manchester Derby of the season comes just four games into the season at Old Trafford on September 10 – pitting Mourinho against Pep Guardiola in the Premier League for the first time ever.
The Reds then face tricky back-to-back away games in October – firstly travelling to Anfield to face Liverpool on October 15 before Mourinho makes a return to Stamford Bridge to face his former club Chelsea on October 22.
Boxing Day will see United host Sunderland at Old Trafford and promoted Middlesbrough will travel to the Theatre of Dreams on New Year’s Eve, before United travel to the Olympic Stadium for the first time in 2017 when they face West Ham on January 2.
United face a tricky run-in, facing Arsenal and Tottenham away from home before rounding off the domestic campaign by hosting Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
The full fixture list is on the Manchester United website.
