Two of Manchester United's final three Premier League fixtures this season are now likely to be at home. United's home match with Newcastle United, originally scheduled for the weekend of April 20, has been postponed after they reached the FA Cup semi-finals.

The Premier League are yet to confirm a rescheduled date for the Newcastle game but it is likely to be the final midweek of the season, with May 15 earmarked.

Arsenal visit Old Trafford on the penultimate weekend of the campaign, which is likely to precede United's final home game of the season against Newcastle.

United and Newcastle have free midweeks at the start of May but they clash with the Champions League semi-finals. The Premier League ordinarily does not seek to arrange games on Champions League matchdays and United's rearranged home match against Sheffield United will take place on April 24 - a midweek devoid of any European competition matches.
