Manchester United will cut down on the amount of travelling during their pre-season tour this summer after listening to feedback from their players.
Like many of their rivals in the Premier League, United headed to the United States in the summer of 2023 to try and engage their supporters in North America. Erik ten Hag’s side played in New Jersey, California, Texas and Nevada during that leg of the summer, which came after matches in Oslo and Edinburgh.
The club has so far only announced five fixtures for the summer of 2024: United will play Rosenborg in Trondheim, the day after the Euros and Copa America conclude on July 14, before facing Rangers in Edinburgh. They will then fly out to the west coast of America to play Arsenal in Los Angeles and Real Betis in San Diego, before playing Liverpool in South Carolina.
“Pre-season is about preparing for the season and we have to make that our next step. It is one of the only times when you have the team together, and you can work in training on structures, the way of play, but also on certain standards around the team and that’s very important to take this period and use it effectively.”
"I think it's been good, there's been a lot of games and too much travelling, to be honest,” Eriksen told MUTV in August last year after a 3-2 defeat by Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas. "It's been nice to see all the fans and to give back to them. I think we played a strong game apart from the result.
