Manchester United has confirmed that the Premier League match against Brentford on February 26th has been postponed due to the club’s success in the Carabao Cup final.
The first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest ended with the Red Devils leading 3-0. They won 2-0 last night to secure their place at Wembley.
Following the 5-0 aggregate victory, United will face Newcastle United in the final on February 26 – the same day as the Premier League match at Old Trafford against Brentford.
As a result, the Bees’ game has been rescheduled for a later date. The Premier League is currently facing a fixture dilemma, with Manchester United still alive in all competitions.
They had to fit in the rescheduled Crystal Palace game last month on short notice and apologized.
The second rescheduled game against Leeds, on the other hand, was confirmed ahead of time. United will host the Yorkshire club on February 8, four days before the return game at Elland Road.
If Manchester United defeats West Ham in the FA Cup fifth round, the Premier League will likely face additional postponements. This means that the game against Brighton & Hove Albion on March 19 will be rescheduled.
Under Ten Hag, United has excelled in all competitions. The Dutch tactician has taken the Cup matches seriously, fielding strong starting lineups in nearly every game.
The Red Devils have the chance to end a six-year trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup, but the manager also wants to win the FA Cup and the Europa League.
After a difficult 2021/22 season, things are looking up for United. A top-four league finish combined with a trophy would mark the club’s most successful season to date.
