Away to Bournemouth first for Jose Mourinho and 2015/16’s fifth best side.
Mourinho will hope to fare better at the Cherries’ Vitality Stadium that Louis van Gaal. The Dutchman left England’s South with a 2-1 defeat to digest.
Manchester United are then at home to (currently) managerless Southampton before heading off to play Steve Bruce’s newly-promoted Hull. Not too tricky a start but September and October sees things really heat up.
Mourinho will welcome Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City to Old Trafford on September 10. They have Watford away before Premier League champions Leicester City come to Manchester, on September 24.
October starts with Stoke City at home before United must hit the road for consecutive away fixtures at Liverpool and Chelsea.
December and April both feature six league games for the Red Devils and, if United are going for the league, their run-in will be tricky. They have Arsenal then Tottenham away [May 6 and 13] before their final game of the season, hosting Crystal Palace.
Here are United’s full fixtures:

It must be noted that fixtures are liable to change slightly due to cup clashes, fixture congestion and TV deals. United’s home game with Hull has already been moved back a day, to February 1.
