The excitement for the upcoming 2025/26 season just went off the roof with the announcement of the list of fixtures of the Premier League.
Some of the most exciting matches of the league are derbies, and while talking about great rivalries, one can miss the clash of the two Reds.
While tension existed from the beginning, the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United truly ignited during the mid-1960s as Bill Shankly and Sir Matt Busby's sides traded league titles in four successive seasons. The derby, also known as the Northwest derby, has since been a charged affair.
Liverpool claimed the Premier League title in the 2024/25 campaign, automatically securing their spot in the Champions League for the upcoming season.
Man United, meanwhile, were unable to lift any trophy and will not be a part of any European competition for the next season after finishing 15th in the Premier League.
When are Liverpool facing Manchester United in the 2025/26 Premier League season?
Last season, Liverpool and Man United met twice, both matches were in the Premier League. The reigning champions bagged a win in one of them, and the other ended in a draw.
