The 2015–16 season is Manchester United's 24th season in the Premier League, and their 41st consecutive season in the top-flight of English football.[1] Along with the Premier League, the club will also compete in the FA Cup, Football League Cup and UEFA Champions League. The season covers the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016.

Pre-season and friendlies

Main article: 2015 International Champions Cup

Manchester United announced a shortened pre-season tour of the United States on 28 April 2015. The first match against Mexican side Club América was played on 17 July at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, and was followed, four days later, by a game against Major League Soccer's San Jose Earthquakes at the Earthquakes' home ground, Avaya Stadium in San Jose. It was originally scheduled to be played at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley,[2] but it was moved to reduce the amount of travelling the team would have to do.[3] Four days after that, Manchester United faced European champions Barcelona at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, before completing the campaign at Chicago's Soldier Field with a game against Paris Saint-Germain.[4][5]

Premier League

The fixtures for the 2015–16 season were announced on 17 June 2015 at 09:00 BST.[6] Manchester United began their campaign with a 1–0 win at home to Tottenham Hotspur on 8 August 2015, with an own goal from Kyle Walker proving the difference between the two teams.[7] United then went top of the league for the first time since August 2013 with another 1–0 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park the following Friday; Adnan Januzaj's goal in the 29th minute was his first since April 2014.[8] The game had moved to Friday for policing reasons due to an English Defence League march in nearby Walsall the following day, a decision which also gave United an extra day to prepare for their Champions League play-off against Club Brugge.[9] United kept a third clean sheet in a row at home to Newcastle United on 22 August, but the forwards were unable to find the net and the match finished as a goalless draw.[10] In the final fixture before the first international break, United conceded their first goals of the season as they lost 2–1 to Swansea City; after going ahead early in the second half through Juan Mata, they conceded twice in five minutes just after the hour mark, first to a header from André Ayew, who then provided the assist for Bafétimbi Gomis.[11]

Following the international break, Manchester United returned to action with a home match against Liverpool. The first half was goalless, but goals from Daley Blind and Ander Herrera gave them the lead going into the last 10 minutes. Christian Benteke then pulled one back for Liverpool with a bicycle kick, before deadline day signing Anthony Martial scored a debut goal to seal a 3–1 win.[12] Martial continued his scoring when United won 3–2 away to Southampton. Graziano Pellè first gave Southampton the lead before Martial scored a brace; the first goal before halftime and the second goal after. United also added a third goal from Juan Mata before Pellè could score his second and the final goal of the match.[13] On 26 September, United went on top of the league for the first time in over two years after beating Sunderland at home. Memphis Depay opened the scoring in first half stoppage time and Rooney scored 40 seconds into the second half - ending his longest barren spell in the Premier league after not scoring in 11 matches - before Mata scored the final goal in the last minute of regular time to secure a 3–0 win.[14] On 4 October 2015, United suffered a 3-0 loss against Arsenal, which remains as their worst result in all games this season. Arsenal drew first blood through an Alexis Sánchez goal in the fifth minute before Mesut Özil added to the score barely 74 seconds later. Alexis completed his brace in the 19th minute to condemn United to their second loss in the league this season, which made United drop to third in the league standings, behind Arsenal on goal difference.

League Cup

As one of eight English clubs who qualified for European competition in the 2014–15 season, United received a bye to the Third Round of the League Cup. The draw for the Third Round took place on 25 August and paired United with Championship side Ipswich Town.[16] United won the game with Ipswich 3-0, with goals from Rooney, a direct free kick by Youth Academy product Andreas Pereira, and the final goal from in-form subsitute Martial.[17] The draw for the fourth round was held on 23 September 2015. United was drawn at home to Middlesbrough from the Championship.[18]

UEFA Champions League

Play-off round

Having finished fourth in the league last season, Manchester United began their UEFA Champions League campaign in the play-off round. They were seeded in the 'League Route' for the draw, which took place in Nyon on 7 August 2015. United were drawn in a two-legged tie against Belgian side Club Brugge,[20] which they won 7–1 on aggregate, ensuring their place in the group stage after a one season absence.[21]

Group stage

Main article: 2015–16 UEFA Champions League group stage

The group stage draw was made on 27 August 2015 in Monaco. Manchester United were drawn into Group B with Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven, the runners-up from Russia and Germany, CSKA Moscow and VfL Wolfsburg.[22] Manchester United had been drawn in the same group as CSKA Moscow and Wolfsburg in 2009–10, while they had met PSV Eindhoven in the first group stage of the 2000–01 competition.[23] United suffered a shock defeat to PSV in the first game as the host came from behind to win 2-1, after Depay scored the opener following his brace against Club Brugge in the play-offs. Hector Moreno leveled the game at half-time, and Luciano Narsingh sealed the game in the 56th minute. In the 24th minute, Moreno also tackled United's in-form left-back Luke Shaw so badly, that he suffered from a leg fracture keeping him out for 6 months.[24]
