Man Utd's 2014/15 fixtures announced
Van Gaal will play his first home game vs Swansea

Manchester United will start their campaign at home to Swansea, following the release on fixtures on Wednesday morning; Louis Van Gaal will be pitted against Gary Monk in which looks a favourable opening game for the reds who will play at home for the first game of the season on the 16th August. This game will be followed by two consecutive away games to Sunderland and Burnley on the 23rd and 30th August, of course subject to change due to television rights.

This is followed by two homes games to QPR and West Ham, in-between those two fixtures will be a tough away trip to the newly promoted Leicester City. On Paper it looks like Man Utd are in for an easy start to the season, which will be welcoming news for current Dutch coach Louis Van Gaal.

The first Manchester derby will take place on the 1st November at the Ethiad Stadium, the return fixture is the 11th April poised nicely in the title run in. The reds will host Merseyside rivals Liverpool on the 13th December and will travel to Anfield on the 21st March. A game of note for the run in is away to Arsenal the second last game of the season which could prove telling.
