How to watch Man United games in Australia: TV channels, live streams and every fixture date for 2024-25 season schedule

Manchester United is at a turning point heading into the 2024–2025 Premier League season. After finishing eighth in the previous season, the team is under tremendous pressure to return to the Champions League and to restore a cohesive and effective style of play.

Nevertheless, a deliberate attempt to rebuild the club's foundation was indicated by the hiring of Dan Ashworth as sports director and strategic player acquisitions.
