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, preseason 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 preseason fixtures.

When does Manchester United’s preseason begin?

In theory, United’s preseason 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.
