The Man Utd fixtures for the Premier League have been rescheduled following their win against Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Manchester United defeated Chelsea to reach the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. As a result, their Premier League fixtures have been rescheduled.
Solskjaer’s men were originally scheduled to take on their city rivals, Manchester City on March 16. Now, the game will take place at Old Trafford on April 24.
The game against City will be followed by another heavyweight league clash against Chelsea on April 28.
The game against Chelsea could be further rescheduled if Manchester United reaches the semifinal of the Champions League.
Manchester United have had a tough set of fixtures earlier this month. After facing his first defeat since the appointment against PSG, Solskjaer led United to a win against Chelsea in the FA Cup earlier this week.

The club now takes on Liverpool this weekend as the side aims to stall their momentum in the league.
Jurgen Klopp’s side is currently second in the Premier League table and a win against Manchester United would take them to the top.
Here’s Manchester United’s schedule for April:
2 April – Wolves (A)
13 April – West Ham (H)
21 April – Everton (A)
24 April – Manchester City (H)
28 April – Chelsea (H)
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed as the caretaker manager of Manchester United after the side’s 3-1 loss to Liverpool proved to be the final nail in the coffin for Jose Mourinho.
Since the defeat at Anfield, Solskjaer inspired United to an emphatic 11-game unbeaten run before finally conceding a defeat to PSG.
The spirits are high at Old Trafford after the side registered their first defeat at Stamford Bridge since October 2012 earlier this week.
“We have to perform better than we did against PSG,” Ole says. “That’s the focus because it’s a big game against a big team. We’ve got to learn from that experience and make sure we stay focused the whole game.” #MUFC

“We know we’re in for a very tough game on Sunday,” says Ole. “But I think they know that coming to Old Trafford will be a difficult one. I think they will pay us respect and we will pay them respect.” #MUFC pic.twitter.com/OMZkzpTNtp

Jurgen Klopp, in his pre-match conference for the game against United, admitted that Manchester United have had a remarkable turnaround since the sides last met at Anfield.
He also praised Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera, stating that the former has been the player he was two years ago, when he joined Manchester United.
