The tour was a hit with fans, as over 82,000 supporters attended the matches. Manchester United won two games and lost two during their time in the USA before returning to England for the start of the Premier League season.

On July 27, Manchester United will face Arsenal in Los Angeles at the impressive SoFi stadium, which has a capacity of 70,000. This highly anticipated match is sure to draw a massive crowd.
Following their clash with Arsenal, Manchester United will travel to Columbia, South Carolina, to take on Liverpool on August 3. The game will be held at the University of South Carolina’s William Brice Stadium. This will be the first meeting between the two teams in the US since 2018 when they played in front of a staggering 101,000 fans at the Michigan Stadium.
In addition to facing Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal will also go head-to-head on July 31 in Philadelphia. This match will mark Liverpool’s first pre-season without Jurgen Klopp in nine years.
