When do Man Utd play next? Next six games after international break

Manchester United fans were faced with the situation that every supporter dreads; losing the final game before the international break.

Now the Old Trafford faithful must stew on a dramatic 3-2 loss to Arsenal for a couple of weeks before redemption can arrive. The bitter stoppage-time reverse was made even worse when you factor in Manchester United's underwhelming start to the season - in terms of performances more so than points.

For that reason, United fans will be keen to know which teams they are up against next after England have faced Ukraine and Scotland during the international break.

Here is what lies ahead for Erik ten Hag's side after an interminable international break.

Man Utd vs Brighton - Premier League

There are certainly easier potential fixtures out there for Ten Hag to come back to after the break, and he will be working extremely hard to ensure that Manchester United do not suffer another disappointment against a team that could be operating in the same part of the table.

Brighton already have a three-point gap over the Red Devils and despite the loss to West Ham United, they have looked like they are in for another very good season. Ten Hag's side will have to have their wits about them at Old Trafford.

Bayern Munich vs Man Utd - Champions League

Lose against Brighton and things will only get harder. A club with the pedigree of Manchester United should feel entitled to victory against any team, but performances have not been good so far and they would have perhaps liked the trip to the Allianz Arena to face Bayern Munich later in the group stage rather than on Matchday 1.

There would be no shame in aiming to get out of Bavaria with a point, but we have all seen how playing in another competition with the pressure on can bring the best out of some players and teams. United fans may find themselves hoping for that sort of situation.

Burnley vs Man Utd - Premier League

While this could be a very pessimistic outlook, it is far from beyond the realms of possibility that Manchester United travel to Burnley having come off the back of three straight defeats, such is the quality that Brighton and Bayern Munich possess.

Former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany could heap even more misery upon his old rivals when United travel to Turf Moor later this month. Although, United have not lost at the home of the Clarets since 2009.

Man Utd vs Crystal Palace - Carabao Cup

A third competition in four games, Man Utd will begin their Carabao Cup defence with a home game against Crystal Palace. The Red Devils have become very adept at getting domestic cup ties at Old Trafford and there will be hopes that this will be a simple job.

While the Ten Hag regime is aiming to win much bigger trophies than this one, that doesn't mean that they won't be going for it. There was minimal rotation in this competition last season and that could remain the case this term.

Man Utd vs Crystal Palace - Premier League

It is weird how often this happens, isn't it? There is little point in Palace heading back down to South London at the end of September as they're due at Old Trafford twice in the space of four days.

Man Utd will hope that they have developed a run of form by this stage and shaken out any early-season inconsistencies, but there is no guarantee. They will also hope to have a few players on their way back from injuries.

Man Utd vs Galatasaray - Champions League

If the worst were to happen at the hands of Harry Kane and others at the Allianz on Matchday 1, United will need to make sure they pick up a convincing win against Galatasaray at Old Trafford if they are to stand much chance of winning the group.

There is a very interesting squad at Galatasaray right now with the likes of Mauro Icardi, Dries Mertens, Tete and Angelino, so there is no guarantee that Ten Hag's side are in for an easy time. It will need to be a professional job.
