Manchester united won the FA Cup in the season before. This means it played against the Premier League winners, Leicester City, in the 2016 FA Community Shield. United won the match 2–1 and won the first trophy of the year.[3] On 26 February 2017, the club won its second trophy that year. It beat Southampton 3–2 in the EFL Cup Final.[4] The club did not qualify for the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League through its league position, because it finished in sixth place. Only the top four clubs qualify. However, it won the Europa League, beating Ajax 2–0 in the Europa League Final on 24 May 2017.[5] This means it still qualified for the Champions League. That win also made United the fifth team to win all three main European club trophies.

Pre-season and friendlies

change

Before the start of their 2016–17 season, United played several games. It played a friendly against Wigan, had a tour of China,[6] played a friendly in Sweden against Turkish club Galatasaray in the 2016 SuperGame, and Wayne Rooney's testimonial match between Manchester United and Everton at Old Trafford.[7] The season ended with Michael Carrick's testimonial on 4 June. It was between United players of the 2008 European Double-winning side (and Dimitar Berbatov, who joined the club during the following transfer window, and Michael's brother, Graeme Carrick) and an all-star team that Carrick chose. Sir Alex Ferguson and Harry Redknapp managed the teams. Redknapp was Carrick's first manager as a professional footballer.[8][9]

FA Cup

change

Manchester United started the FA Cup in the third round. This is the same as the other Premier League Championship clubs. The third round draw (when the matches are decided) happened on 5 December. United played at home against Championship side Reading. The opponent's manager was Jaap Stam. He played for United for three years between 1998 and 2001 and this was his first time back.[14] United won 4–0 on 7 January. Wayne Rooney scored in the first half and matched Bobby Charlton's 249-goal record for the club in that game. Anthony Martial also scored in the first half. Marcus Rashford scored two goals in the second half. The next match was at home again, against League One champions Wigan Athletic. Their manager was Warren Joyce who used to be a coach for Manchester United Under-23.[15] United beat the Latics 4–0. They then played away against Championship side Blackburn Rovers in the fifth round. United came from behind to win 2–1. Marcus Rashford and substitute Zlatan Ibrahimović scored. In the quarter-finals, United played away at Premier League rivals Chelsea. It was a close game. Ander Herrera got a red card and N'Golo Kanté scored the winning goal. This was the end of Manchester United's defence (because United won the year before) of the FA Cup.
