As United were competing in UEFA competition in 2022–23, they entered the EFL Cup in the third round. They were drawn against Aston Villa, and the match was played at Old Trafford on 10 November 2022. United gave a debut to goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka, who kept a clean sheet in the first half, but within three minutes of the second half starting, United were behind to a goal from Ollie Watkins. Anthony Martial equalised 19 seconds after the ensuing kick-off, only for United to go behind again when Diogo Dalot diverted a ball from Leon Bailey into his own net just after the hour mark. Marcus Rashford equalised six minutes later, before Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay sealed the victory.

United received another home draw in the fourth round; they played against Burnley on 21 December 2022. Christian Eriksen opened the scoring in the first half before Rashford added a second after the half-time interval.

In the quarter-finals, Manchester United were drawn at home against the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition, Charlton Athletic. In the sides' first meeting in nearly 16 years, a first-half goal from Antony followed by two late goals in five minutes from substitute Rashford secured United a place in the semi-finals. The match featured the competitive debuts of Kobbie Mainoo and Facundo Pellistri for the club; the former started and played for an hour while the latter came on as a substitute at 84 minutes and assisted Rashford's first goal. This was also goalkeeper Tom Heaton's first start for the club.

In the semi-finals, United face Nottingham Forest, whom they defeated in the 1992 final to lift their first League Cup title. In the first leg held at City Ground, Rashford opened the scoring inside six minutes. Wout Weghorst then scored just before half-time, his first goal for the club. Fernandes wrapped up the win with another strike.

UEFA Europa League[]

Group stage[]

Main article: 2022–23 UEFA Europa League group stage#Group E

Having finished sixth in the 2021–22 Premier League, United qualified for the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League. They entered the competition in the group stage, which was drawn on 26 August 2022, with United in Pot 1 along with Roma, Arsenal, Lazio, Braga, Red Star Belgrade, Dynamo Kyiv and Olympiacos. They were drawn into Group E with Spanish club Real Sociedad, Moldovan champions Sheriff Tiraspol and Cypriot representative Omonia. They last met Sociedad in the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League round of 32, which they won 4–0 away and drew 0–0 at home. They also met in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League group stage, when United drew 0–0 away and won 1–0 at home. The meetings with Sheriff and Omonia were United's first against teams from either Moldova or Cyprus. The group stage began on 8 September and concluded on 3 November 2022.

Before United's opening group match at home to Real Sociedad, a moment of silence was observed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II earlier that day. Real Sociedad's Brais Méndez scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot after 59 minutes, following a contentious handball decision against substitute Lisandro Martínez, to give the Spanish side their first ever win over United. For the next match United travelled to Chișinău, where Zimbru Stadium hosted the match instead of Sheriff's regular stadium, Sheriff Stadium, Tiraspol, due to Transnistria's involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Jadon Sancho opened the scoring before Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of the season via a penalty.

The next match saw United travel to Omonia's GSP Stadium in Nicosia. Despite a heavily dominant United display in the first half, Karim Ansarifard put Omonia into the lead after 34 minutes. Half-time substitutes Rashford and Martial put United 3–1 up before Nikolas Panayiotou scored a late consolation goal for the hosts. The return fixture was played the next week, with Scott McTominay scoring the game's winning goal.

United hosted Sheriff Tiraspol on 27 October, with Alejandro Garnacho making his first senior start for the club. Diogo Dalot scored the opener with a header. It was only his second ever goal for United, and the first since January 2020. Rashford then doubled the lead with another header before Ronaldo ensured United's passage to the Europa League knockout stage. On the final matchday, United needed to win by two goals in their return match against Real Sociedad at Anoeta Stadium to win the group. Garnacho scored his first senior goal for the club in the first half, but there were no further goals, which meant United finished second based on their overall goal difference.

Knockout phase[]

Main article: 2022–23 UEFA Europa League knockout phase

Having finished second in their group, United will play in the Europa League knock-out round playoffs against one of the eight third-placed teams from the UEFA Champions League group stage. There were no other English teams in the draw conducted on 7 November 2022, so all eight opponents were possible: Ajax, Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus, Red Bull Salzburg, Sevilla, Shakhtar Donetsk and Sporting CP. United were drawn first from the group runners-up pot, paired with Barcelona. The two teams have previously met in 13 competitive matches, most notably in the 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup Final – which United won 2–1 – and the 2009 and 2011 UEFA Champions League Finals, which Barcelona won 2–0 and 3–1, respectively. It is the sides' first meeting since the 2018–19 Champions League quarter-finals, which United lost 4–0 on aggregate.
