Jose Mourinho's Manchester United career will begin at the Vitality Stadium on August 13 when they travel to AFC Bournemouth, but the Portuguese's focus will already be on their fourth game of the Premier League season.

The former Real Madrid head coach will come head-to-head with Pep Guardiola – his Barcelona rival from their time in Spain – on September 10 when United host Manchester City at Old Trafford.

United's opening 10 games of the 2016-17 campaign also sees them welcome defending champions Leicester City on September 24, while Mourinho's first return to Chelsea comes in mid-October.

Mourinho lost his job at Stamford Bridge in December, but he will be back – this time in the visiting dugout – on October 22.

United welcome Sunderland to Old Trafford on Boxing Day, while the reverse Manchester derby takes place on February 25 before a potentially tricky run in that includes the visit of Chelsea and away matches with Arsenal and Tottenham.
