After missing the Champions League in 2014-2015, Manchester United finished fourth in the English Premier League and is back in Europe’s greatest competition. Now, the Red Devils look to regain their perch atop the English Premier League for the first time since 2012-2013 and for the 13th time overall. Manchester United is the most decorated team in English football, winning 20 league titles, two more than their closest rival Liverpool. The 2014-2015 season was about the lowest lows, a 5-3 loss to Leicester City on September 21st, and the highest of highs, 3-0 thrashings of Tottenham and Liverpool and a 4-2 win over Manchester City, and Manchester United looks for more stability in 2015-2016 with big name signings like Memphis Depay.
Manchester United has one of the toughest starts to the season, with five of their first 10 games against teams that finished in the top six in 2014-2015. The Red Devils finish their schedule with five teams that finished in the bottom half of the table, with the premier matchup of the second half of the season as a trip to EPL runner-up and city rival Manchester City on March 19, 2016.
