Man Utd’s pre-season tour confirmed with Ruben Amorim’s flops facing 9000-MILE round trip to face Premier League rivals

MANCHESTER UNITED will face off against Premier League rivals in a pre-season tournament in the United States that will see them travel nearly 9,000 miles.

The Red Devils will try and shake off their dismal 2024/25 campaign across three US states, playing three Prem teams.

United will take on West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton in the Premier League Summer Series in July and August.

It will be the third year running that United have taken their pre-season preparations to the US.

Ruben Amorim’s side will begin their tour with a 3,334-mile trip from Manchester to New Jersey, where they will face West Ham at MetLife stadium on July 26 – home of the NFL‘s New York Jets and New York Giants.

They will then board another plane to fly 782 miles to face AFC Bournemouth in Chicago just four days later.

That game will take place at Soldier Field, one of the oldest and most famous stadiums in the NFL and the home ground of MLS club Chicago Fire.

Following that, the Red Devils will then make another 714-mile trip to arrive in Atlanta another four days later.

There they will play their final match of the pre-season tour, facing Everton at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Once they’ve faced the Toffees, United will then head back to Manchester in another 4,080-mile flight.

The combined distance travelled by the Man Utd players and staff will total to an incredible 8,910 MILES.

United will be back in the UK in early August, just a matter of weeks before the Premier League season will begin.

The Premier League Summer Series started in 2023, bringing fans in the States a glimpse of their favourite teams.

Previous editions have included the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle United and Brighton.

Jason Wilcox, Technical Director of Manchester United, said: “The weeks leading up to a new Premier League season is always an exciting time for Manchester United players and fans alike.

“And we enjoy spending that period in the US, taking advantage of world-class training facilities and stadiums, and engaging with fans.

“Playing other teams from the Premier League provides the players with an opportunity to gain valuable playing time against top opposition.

“And for our passionate fans to see some of the most famous teams in world football playing live at three of the most iconic stadiums in North America.”

The globetrotting flops will be hoping they can turn around their form for the 2025/26 season.

Ruben Amorim‘s side are languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table this season and will need big changes going forward.

Even Amorim admitted this week that his side have “deep scars” that need resolving to turn things around.
