Man United pre-season friendlies 2025: Full schedule and results
Manchester United face one of the most important pre-season periods in their recent history this summer as Ruben Amorim looks to turn things around at Old Trafford.
United finished 15th in a dismal season after the Portuguese arrived in November, with the Europa League final loss to Tottenham condemning them to one of their worst seasons in living memory.
And the club are heading to the USA for friendlies against Premier League opposition this summer as Amorim as he tries to get his side to adapt to his preferred formation, with the Red Devils also expected to be active in the summer transfer window as they try to help their manager.
With the Premier League fixture release throwing together matches against Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea in the first five games of next season, pre-season preparations could be vital if Amorim wants to remain in good stead with fans and the club hierarchy early on.
Here's everything you need to know about United's pre-season fixtures.
When does Manchester United's pre-season begin?
In theory, United's pre-season began just a few days after the end of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign, with the squad jetting off to Asia to play two friendlies just two days after the final game of the season at home to Aston Villa.
However, after a rest period of around one month, United will travel to Stockholm for their opening friendly of the summer, against Leeds on 9 July.
Shortly after, the squad will travel to the USA before the opening match of their Premier League Summer Series eight days later, with that match taking place against West Ham in New Jersey on 27 July.
United are in America for a little over a week, with matches against Bournemouth and Everton in Chicago and Atlanta before they head back to the UK.
And the final pre-season friendly of the summer takes place at Old Trafford on 9 August – just eight days before the opening Premier League game of the season against Arsenal.

Aldrich Potgieter, Kevin Roy break course record at Rocket Classic
June 26 - The course record at Detroit Golf Club was threatened, tied and then finally toppled on Thursday at the Rocket Classic. After budding Australian star Min Woo Lee carded a 9-under-par 63 to match the course record, it came down when Aldrich Potgieter of South Africa wrapped up a 10-under 62. Just minutes after Potgieter's round was complete, Kevin Roy also signed for a 62. They carry a one-shot lead in the tournament into Friday. By day's end, the old record looked like child's play, as Mark Hubbard and Max Greyserman also finished up with 63. Potgieter got off to a white-hot start, shooting a 7-under 29 on the back nine with five birdies and an eagle. He added birdies at Nos. 1, 7 and 8 and nearly made it a 61 with another birdie at No. 9 that missed by inches. "I (thought it was going in), I started walking after it," Potgieter said. "But it was a good putt, I'm happy with it. And it was on a crest so I didn't know if it was going to be left or right, so it was just a little unfortunate but I'll take the 62 still." Roy finished his round eagle-birdie to match Potgieter's number. Roy chipped in for eagle from 30 feet at the par-5 17th hole and then stuck his approach at No. 18 to about 5 feet to set up his final birdie. "Just one of those days everything was clicking," Roy said. "Lot of fairways, lot of greens, putter got hot, bonus chip-in on 17 for eagle. It's just when you've got it going, it's a lot of fun to try to keep it going. Yeah, just really happy with it." --Field Level Media

Jake Paul vows to send Julio Cesar Chavez Jr into sad boxing retirement and goads ‘I'll be there for you'
JAKE PAUL has vowed to send Julio Cesar Chavez Jr into a sad retirement from boxing and goaded: 'I'll be there for you.'

But the second generation backtracked on his promise when asked if his career was on the line on Saturday in California. Chavez, 39, said through a translator: "No, I just said that to say something. I'm definitely not going to lose, I'm definitely not going to retire. "I'm going to continue with my career and Jake's going to continue to do whatever it is he needs to do." But YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul had a different view - promising to embarrass the son of a legend to a point of no return. He said: "Oh yeah, this is it for him. And I'm going to feel bad. "I'm genuinely sorry, I want to apologise in advance because I know the emotional turmoil you're going to go through. "You're going to go into hiding, that's who you are you love to go and hide.
