Manchester United begin their 2025/26 pre-season campaign with a high-profile friendly against rivals Leeds United.
After a challenging 2024/25 Premier League season, new manager Ruben Amorim will be eager to test new signings and returning stars, as well as offer valuable minutes to promising academy talents. This first fixture is followed by a series of games against strong opposition as United prepare for the new season.

Manchester United will kick off their 2025/26 pre-season campaign with a friendly match against historic rivals Leeds United. The Red Devils will then travel to the United States for three exciting fixtures as part of their summer tour, where they face Premier League opposition in West Ham, Bournemouth, and Everton.
Their pre-season will conclude at Old Trafford with a home game against Serie A club Fiorentina. This run of high-intensity warm-up games provides new manager Ruben Amorim with a chance to fine-tune tactics, test new signings, and give game time to promising academy talents ahead of the new season.
Diego Leon and Matheus Cunha - two of Man United's summer signings have already joined their pre-season squad for the Leeds match. The deal for Bryan Mbeumo is also done but the former Brentford player is likely to join the team in their USA tour.
