Fixtures announced for 2010/11

REDS FACE MAGPIES FIRST IN 2010/11 United's campaign to reclaim the Barclays Premier League title from Chelsea will begin at home to Newcastle United on the opening weekend, 14/15 August. It's a repeat of the Reds' first fixture in 2008/09 - the Magpies stole a point when they were last in the top flight (1-1, Darren Fletcher scored) - and in 2000/01 when Ronny Johnsen and Andy Cole netted in United's 2-0 win. The league season ends with another home game against a promoted side, Blackpool, on Sunday 22 May. Please note, all dates are provisional only and are subject to change.

The Reds meet Celtic in Toronto, Canada on Friday 16 July and with both sides finishing second in their respective British leagues last season, they'll be champing at the bit to go one better in the new campaign. Sir Alex Ferguson vows, "We’ll be taking our tour games very seriously because the stage we’ll be at in terms of our pre-season preparation means we need to get our show on the road. The tempo and rhythm of our game has got to be established quickly. Hopefully the fans in Canada and the US will see us at our best." Local fans can't wait to see the likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Dimitar Berbatov play on their patch. Michael Singer, chairman of the Manchester United Supporters Club in Canada, says: "I'm so looking forward to seeing the Reds at the Rogers Center, a jewel of a stadium with a retractable roof. I saw a match there a few years ago between Roma and Celtic and the atmosphere was brilliant. I'm sure the atmosphere will be even better for the United game." Tour 2010 will also take the Reds to Philadelphia (21 July), Kansas (25 July) and Houston (28 July). ManUtd.com is giving away tickets to all four matches.
