Man Utd to face Premier League rivals in US pre-season tour

After a difficult 2024/25 season, Manchester United will look to regroup as they take their preparations to the US for the third consecutive year. The team will play three Premier League clubs: West Ham, AFC Bournemouth and Everton, in matches scheduled for July and August.

The tour will begin with a 3,334-mile flight from Manchester to New Jersey, where they will face West Ham at the MetLife Stadium on July 26. Following that, the Red Devils will travel 782 miles to Chicago to play the Cherries on July 30.

The final leg of the journey will see United head to Atlanta, just 714 miles away, where they will play their last match of the pre-season against Everton at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. After facing the Toffees, United will return to Manchester with a 4,080-mile flight.

Club legend Andrew Cole joined the NBC broadcast and said: "The facilities in the US provide a world-class environment for players to come and prepare for the upcoming season and bond as a group. Playing three Premier League sides, in three iconic stadiums, will be a great advert for the quality of the league.

“United have a vast following in the US, and I know they will be tremendously excited about the prospect of watching and engaging with the team when they return this summer."
