Manchester United have officially confirmed their final home match of the season, setting the stage for an emotional afternoon at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are riding high on a three-match winning streak, bouncing back from a narrow 2-1 loss to Leeds United. Since then, Erik ten Hag's side has been unstoppable, clinching impressive victories over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and overcoming Champions League rivals Brentford and Liverpool on home turf.
Their thrilling 3-2 win against Liverpool last weekend was more than just a statement—it secured a coveted spot in next season's Champions League. With only three games remaining, United need just four points to mathematically guarantee a top-three finish.
The first of those crucial fixtures comes this Saturday against Sunderland, a rare 15:00 BST kick-off that fans will relish. But all eyes are already turning to the season's finale, confirmed for Sunday 24th May against Brighton and Hove Albion at 16:00 BST, when all Premier League teams kick off simultaneously in a traditional end-of-season showdown.
There had been some uncertainty surrounding the Nottingham Forest clash, originally scheduled as United's last home game. The doubt stemmed from Forest's potential involvement in the Europa League final, but their 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa put those hopes to rest. Had Forest progressed, United's fixture would have been moved to Friday, but now the original date stands firm.
The club officially announced: "Manchester United's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest will go ahead on Sunday 17 May, as provisionally scheduled." They added that "the final home fixture of the season for Michael Carrick's men gets under way at 12:30 BST on that date," with live coverage on Sky Sports for UK viewers.
This match carries extra weight as it marks Casemiro's final appearance at Old Trafford in a United shirt. Fans are already planning a fitting send-off for the Brazilian midfielder, who has been instrumental in the team's resurgence. Expect an electric atmosphere as the Red Devils look to finish their home campaign in style.
