February might only have 28 days but for Manchester United the second month of the year will feel like the longest rather than the shortest.
They will play eight games, including two against Leeds, two against Barcelona and a Wembley cup final. It’s not a leap year, but it feels like a leap into the unknown.
The month could end with their first trophy in six years, but there is so much happening before then that it’s hard to even cast your mind forward to Wembley. Playing Leeds twice in five days is going to expend energy, a quirk of the fixture list that has handed down a doubleheader full of edge.
