Manchester United have had their final home match of the season confirmed.<\/p>\n

Significance<\/h3>\n

The Red Devils are currently on a three-match winning streak after losing 2-1 to Leeds United. United have beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, as well as Champions League rivals Brentford and Liverpool at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

The 3-2 victory over Liverpool last weekend secured a spot in next season\u2019s Champions League.<\/p>\n

Four points would mathematically secure a top-three finish from their last three games. The first of the remaining matches will be against Sunderland on Saturday afternoon, in a rare 15:00 BST kick-off for the Reds.<\/p>\n

It has also been decided that United will play their final match of the season against Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday 24th May at 16:00 BST, as all teams will play at the same time, as is tradition on the final day of the Premier League season.<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest match confirmed<\/h3>\n

There was some doubt about when United would take on Nottingham Forest in the club\u2019s final home match of the season.<\/p>\n

This uncertainty was due to Forest\u2019s potential involvement in the Europa League final, but their 4-0 loss to Aston Villa ended those hopes.<\/p>\n

If the Tricky Trees had made the final, United\u2019s match would have taken place on Friday, but this is no longer an option.<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s site confirmed, \u201cManchester United\u2019s Premier League game against Nottingham Forest will go ahead on Sunday 17 May, as provisionally scheduled.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club also confirmed that, \u201cthe final home fixture of the season for Michael Carrick\u2019s men gets under way at 12:30 BST on that date.\u201d<\/p>\n

The game will also be shown live on Sky Sports for viewers in the UK.<\/p>\n

The match-up promises to be emotional, as it will be Casemiro\u2019s final game at Old Trafford as a United player, and Red Devils fans are bound to want to give the Brazilian an impressive send-off.<\/p>\n
