The 2014–15 season is Manchester United's 23rd season in the Premier League, and their 40th consecutive season in the top-flight of English football.

United began the season on 16 August 2014, with the opening game of their Premier League campaign. They will also compete in the two domestic cups, the FA Cup and the League Cup. This will be the first season since 1989–90 that Manchester United will not compete in any European competition.

Background

United finished seventh in the Premier League last season so won't be participating in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 1995–96 campaign and will not be in any European competition for the first time in 25 years. Louis van Gaal was announced as the new manager on 19 May 2014 after the sacking of David Moyes in April. He appointed Ryan Giggs, who retired from playing, as assistant manager, Marcel Bout as assistant coach, specialising in oppositional scouting, and Frans Hoek as goalkeeping coach. Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidić and Patrice Evra left the club. United completed their first signing of the season on 26 June 2014 with the acquisition of Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao for £29 million, and followed this up the following day with Luke Shaw from Southampton. Following the departures of Vidić and Evra, Wayne Rooney and Darren Fletcher were named as captain and vice-captain respectively.

Pre-season and friendlies

Manchester United preceded their 2014–15 campaign with a tour of the United States. They played LA Galaxy in the Chevrolet Cup on 23 July, and also participated in the 2014 International Champions Cup from 26 July to 2 August, playing against Roma, Internazionale and Real Madrid in the group stage. Having beaten Roma and Real Madrid in normal time, and Internazionale on penalties to win their group, they qualified for the final against Liverpool on 4 August. After going behind to a Steven Gerrard penalty in the first half, United rallied in the second with goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard to win 3–1. Upon their return to England, the team played against Valencia on 12 August in what was Louis van Gaal's first home match as Manchester United manager.

Premier League

The fixtures for the 2014–15 season were announced on 18 June 2014. Manchester United opened their Premier League campaign at home to Swansea City on 16 August 2014, and their last game of the season will be away to Hull City on 24 May 2015. The season started off on the wrong foot for Manchester United, being defeated 1-2 by Swansea City, marking Swansea's first league win at Old Trafford in club history, and the Red Devils' first home loss in a season opener since 1972.

FA Cup

United will enter the FA Cup at the Third Round stage with the other Premier League clubs, as well as those from the Championship. The draw will be made in December 2014 with the ties taking place in January 2015.

League Cup

United will enter the League Cup at the Second Round stage for the first time since 1995–96, the last season before teams that had qualified for European competitions were allowed to enter the competition in the Third Round instead of the Second. The draw took place on 13 August 2014, with United being drawn with an away tie against League One side MK Dons. It will be the first ever meeting between both clubs, since the formation of MK Dons in 2004.
