Manchester United confirm dates and times for three April fixtures

Manchester United's Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest in April has been rescheduled to accommodate the upcoming Europa League quarter-finals.

United are favourites to win the Europa League going into the final eight after they defeated Real Betis 5-1 on aggregate in the last 16.
