Manchester United have named a squad with a blend of experience and youth for their tour of the United States, with new signing Leny Yoro included.
United have played Rosenborg in Norway and Rangers in Scotland so far this summer and they’ll now fly out to the US to play further friendlies.
After touching down in the States, United will play Arsenal in Los Angeles on July 28, followed by a clash against Real Betis on August 1 in San Diego.
The US tour will end against fierce rivals Liverpool in Columbia on August 3 and the friendly will be played at the University of South Carolina’s Williams-Brice Stadium.

United were represented by senior players at the European Championship and Copa America. They have been given extra time off to recover and haven’t been named in the tour squad, which applies to the summer signing Joshua Zirkzee, who is set to link up with the team in August.
Andre Onana, Tom Heaton, Yoro, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Mason Mount, Amad, Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Scott McTominay, Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen are United’s senior players who will travel to the USA.
McTominay, Hojlund and Eriksen only recently returned to Carrington after failing to progress from the Euro 2024 group stage with their respective countries but have been included.
Rashford was absent for the friendly against Rangers last weekend due to an injury niggle but will fly to the States. Maguire, Lindelof and Antony were other notable absentees at Murrayfield, although all three players have made the 30-man pre-season tour squad.
Lindelof, who is yet to make an appearance in pre-season, has entered the final year of his contract and United are looking to sell him this summer to help generate funds.
However, there is no place for Tyrell Malacia, who last played a competitive fixture in June last year and is continuing his recovery from a serious knee injury.
13 youngsters are included in the squad, including Ethan Wheatley, Harry Amass and James Scanlon, who all won a stunning treble with the Under-18s last season. Toby Collyer has also been included after signing a contract extension earlier this month.
United’s 29-man squad for USA tour:
Goalkeepers: Andre Onana, Tom Heaton, Radek Vitek, Dermot Mee.
Defenders: Harry Amass, Rhys Bennett, Jonny Evans, Will Fish, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Sam Murray, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Leny Yoro.
Midfielders: Casemiro, Toby Collyer, Christian Eriksen, Hannibal, Jack Fletcher, Sam Mather, Scott McTominay, Mason Mount, Maxi Oyedele, James Scanlon
Attackers: Antony, Amad, Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Ethan Wheatley.
