Premier League giants Manchester United are all set to overcome their disappointing 15th-place finish in the 2024/25 season and begin their 2025/26 campaign with fresh vigour.
Manager Ruben Amorim, who took charge of the club in November 2024, will embark on his first full season at the helm with United kicking off their pre-season campaign on July 19.
Their pre-season games will begin with a clash against newly promoted and historic rivals Leeds United in Sweden. They'll then head to the United States of America for a three-match tour and finally return to Old Trafford to wrap up their friendlies.

The Red Devils have already bolstered their attack with the signing of Wolverhampton forward Matheus Cunha and are heavily linked with Brentford's Bryan Mbuemo to solve their long-standing issues in front of goal.
Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Amad Diallo, and Manuel Ugarte are expected to play key roles and shoulder responsibilities during this transitional period under Amorim's full season in charge for the club.
