All is fine now – Harry Maguire joining Man Utd tour after personal matter
Harry Maguire did not travel with United (Martin Rickett/PA)
'All is fine now,' Maguire posted on an Instagram story. 'I will be travelling tomorrow to meet up with the squad. Thanks for your concern.'
Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia have unsurprisingly joined Barcelona-bound Marcus Rashford in being omitted from the travelling party heading for Chicago.
The five are searching for new clubs and have been training away from Ruben Amorim's first-team squad since indicating that they wish to explore a future away from Old Trafford.
Bryan Mbeumo is part of the group after completing his move from Brentford on Monday for a fee rising to a potential £71million.
Fellow summer arrivals Matheus Cunha, whose partner recently gave birth, and Diego Leon are also on the plane.
Lisandro Martinez is included as he continues his rehabilitation from a cruciate ligament injury sustained in February. PA understands the United defender is not yet ready for team training.
Amorim's side are flying from Manchester to their base in Chicago, where they will play Bournemouth at Soldier Field on July 30 as part of the Premier League Summer Series.
They start the pre-season tournament at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey – host of next year's World Cup final – against West Ham on Saturday evening local time.
United finish their three-game trip against Everton at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Atlanta on August 3.
Amorim's side welcome Fiorentina, including United great David De Gea, to Old Trafford for their final warm-up friendly on August 9 – the weekend before their Premier League opener at home to Arsenal.

Partey was not asked to enter any pleas and was granted conditional bail. — Villarreal CF English (@VillarrealCFen) August 7, 2025 Villarreal announced on Thursday afternoon that they had reached an agreement with the former Atletico Madrid, Real Mallorca and Almeria player, who will join his team-mates at the training ground on Friday, but did not specify the length of contract he has signed. However, in a statement published on their official X account, they said: 'The club is also aware that the player is currently involved in legal proceeding in England. The player firmly maintains his innocence and denies all charges against him. 'The club respects the fundamental principle of the presumption of innocence and will await the outcome of the judicial process, which will be responsible for clarifying the facts of the case. Due to the law in England in relation to ongoing proceedings the club is unable to comment further. 'Villarreal CF wishes to clearly reiterate its strong commitment to respect and diversity and firmly condemns any act of violence in all its forms, including gender-based violence, discrimination, racism, xenophobia, or any behaviour that undermines the dignity of individuals.'

The Villarreal statement said: 'Thomas Teye Partey is a complete midfielder with great stamina and exceptional physical attributes. He is an excellent ball-winner and has the ability to start moves from deep. 'The African footballer also boasts a good shot from mid-range and has the ability to break lines when driving forward.'

Ousmane Dembele (Paris St-Germain) Gianluigi Donnarumma (Paris St-Germain) Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) Desire Doue (Paris St-Germain) Denzel Dumfries (Inter) Serhou Guirassy (Dortmund) Erling Haaland (Manchester City) Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal) Achraf Hakimi (Paris St-Germain) Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Paris St-Germain) Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona) Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool) Lautaro Martinez (Inter) Scott McTominay (Napoli) Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) Nuno Mendes (Paris St-Germain) Joao Neves (Paris St-Germain) Pedri (Barcelona) Cole Palmer (Chelsea) Michael Olise (Bayern Munich) Raphinha (Barcelona) Declan Rice (Arsenal) Fabian Ruiz (Paris St-Germain) Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid) Florian Wirtz (Liverpool) Vitinha (Paris St-Germain) Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) According to football betting site talkSPORT Bet, Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele is the No.1 favourite at odds of 1/5. Dembele registered 21 goals and eight assists across 29 Ligue 1 games last season as PSG were crowned champions of France. The French forward also conjured up eight goals and six assists in 15 Champions League matches to help PSG land their first-ever trophy. Ousmane Dembele 1/5 Lamine Yamal 5/1 Mohamed Salah 16/1 Raphinha 20/1 Vitinha 25/1 Nuno Mendes 33/1 Kylian Mbappe 33/1 Cole Palmer 33/1 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia 50/1 Desire Doue 100/1 Lautaro Martinez 100/1 Gianluigi Donnarumma 100/1 Virgil Van Dijk 100/1 Jude Bellingham 100/1 Scott McTominay 150/1 Fabian Ruiz 200/1 Michael Olise 200/1 Joao Neves 200/1 Alexis MacAllister 200/1 Achraf Hakimi 200/1 Serhou Guirassy 200/1 Denzel Dumfries 200/1 Harry Kane 200/1 Florian Wirtz 200/1 Vinicius Junior 250/1 Robert Lewandowski 250/1 Declan Rice 250/1 Erling Haaland 250/1 Viktor Gyokeres 250/1 Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is the second favourite at odds of 5/1 after the Catalan club landed the La Liga title as well as the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España trophies. Salahi is the third favourite after Liverpool finished ahead of Arsenal and Pep Guardiola's City to clinch the Premier League title. Salah believes this year is his 'best chance' to win the Ballon d'Or – with the Egyptian having never landed the trophy before. 'I would say I never had a season like this and winning big trophies so I would say this is my best chance to get it right now while I'm in the club because it's been a crazy year, a crazy season with a trophy,' Salah told Sky Sports. 'It's given me a good chance.'
