Manchester United have confirmed they will wear their 2025/26 home kit for the first time when they face Bournemouth in the second game of their pre-season tour of the United States next month.
United will face the Cherries at Soldier Field in Chicago on Thursday, July 31, kick-off 2.30am BST.
Ruben Amorim's side will participate in the Premier League Summer Series on the other side of the Atlantic, facing West Ham United and Everton either side of the clash with Bournemouth.
Prior to travelling to the US in four weeks time, United will begin their pre-season campaign with a clash against Leeds United in Stockholm on Saturday, July 19. The Reds are yet to confirm which kit they will be wearing against the Whites and West Ham.
Additionally, United have also confirmed their new home shirt will be given its first Old Trafford outing when Amorim's troops face Fiorentina in their final friendly of the summer on Saturday, August 9.
The contest, which could mark David de Gea's first return to M16 since leaving Old Trafford two years ago, will see the two sides compete for the Snapdragon Cup.
The clash with the Italian club will be United's only pre-season friendly to be played on home soil ahead of the new Premier League season getting under way in mid-August.
The fixtures for the 2025/26 campaign were revealed last Wednesday, confirming United will face rivals Arsenal in their season opener at Old Trafford on Sunday, August 17.
The clash with the Gunners will, of course, mark United's new home strip's debut outing in a competitive fixture.
United are yet to confirm when their away kit for the upcoming campaign will be released.
