MONDAY
Our Under-18s are in action this evening in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup, against Brighton & Hove Albion at Leigh Sports Village. The game kicks off at 19:00 GMT and you can watch it live on MUTV, with coverage starting at 18:30 GMT. Elsewhere, it's two years to the day since Wayne Rooney eclipsed Sir Bobby Charlton's record to become the club's all-time leading scorer, when netting his 250th goal for United with a sublime free-kick in a 1-1 draw at Stoke. Meanwhile, Nicky Butt, our Head of Academy, and his former team-mate Phil Neville both celebrate their birthday - the pair were born exactly two years apart in 1975 and 1977 respectively.

TUESDAY
It's the first anniversary of Alexis Sanchez's arrival from Arsenal, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving in the opposite direction. Andy Cole made his Reds debut on this day in 1995 in a 1-0 home win over Blackburn Rovers - the club he would later move to in 2001 after netting 121 goals in 275 games for us.
