Manchester United
2021–22 season
ChairmanJoel and Avram Glazer
ManagerOle Gunnar Solskjær
StadiumOld Trafford

The 2021–22 season is Manchester United's 30th season in the Premier League and their 47th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. The club will participate in the Premier League, the EFL Cup, the UEFA Champions League, and the FA Cup. This will be the first season since 2013–14 that Chevrolet will not be the main shirt sponsor; they will be replaced by software company TeamViewer.[1]

Pre-season and friendlies

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Manchester United will not go on an overseas tour in the 2021–22 pre-season. Instead, they will play five matches, all in England, beginning with away matches against Championship sides Derby County – managed by United's record goalscorer, Wayne Rooney – on 18 July 2021 and Queens Park Rangers on 24 July. They will then play a home match against Premier League debutants Brentford on 28 July, before playing away to another Championship club Preston North End on 31 July, and at home to fellow Premier League side Everton on 7 August.[2][3]
