Manchester United kick started their April with a defeat to Wolves but their fixture list only gets tougher as the month progresses. Up next, the Red Devils welcome FC Barcelona to Old Trafford for their Champions League quarter final – first leg tie on April 10th. Just three days later, Man Utd face a tricky challenge from visiting West Ham who are managed by a familiar foe Manuel Pellegrini.

April 10th: Manchester United vs Barcelona
April 13th: Manchester United vs West Ham
April 16th: Barcelona vs Manchester United

If Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prioritizes the Champions League, he might be forced to play a weaker side against the London club knowing the second leg of their Champions League Quarter final tie is scheduled to be played at the Nou Camp on April 16th.

April 21st: Everton vs Manchester United
April 24th: Manchester United vs Manchester City
April 28th: Manchester United vs Chelsea

After their quarter final tie gets over, Manchester United’s next three matches in the Premier League could seal their top 4 fate. They travel to Merseyside to face Everton on April 21st, which promises to be an interesting encounter. Three days later, they have a derby game against defending Premier League champions Manchester City at Old Trafford. United’s last game in April is against Chelsea who are in contention to finish in the top four at the time of writing.

Solskjaer has turned around United’s fortune after taking over from Mourinho and was rightfully rewarded with the full-time Manager job recently but April will easily be his toughest month in the Premier League as Manager so far.
