Manchester United will embark on a pre-season tour ahead of the upcoming Premier League season after a two-year sabbatical.
The English giants, like other clubs, had to put their vacation plans on wait as the Covid-19 outbreak shut down portions of the world, forcing United to play pre-season matches on home soil.
Following a dismal season and the appointment of a new manager, United will travel to various areas of the globe, bringing joy to their fan base outside of the United Kingdom.
United's pre-season trip would also provide Erik ten Hag with a comprehensive glimpse of his new club as they strive to reclaim their status as local and European title contenders. The Red Devils concluded the season in sixth place with 58 points, which disappointed many fans.
Old Trafford is Manchester United's home stadium.
With around 60 days until the start of the new season, United will be expecting to accomplish a lot, not just on the financial side, but also on the pitch, as well as travel to areas where their fan base is strong.
Manchester United has always performed admirably in pre-season fixtures, whether they are against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
