Manchester United begin their pre-season preparations with a game against rivals Leeds United in Stockholm on July 19.
The Red Devils then face fellow Premier League sides West Ham United, Bournemouth and Everton during a tour of the United States of America, before hosting Arsenal on the opening weekend of the new season in August.
United endured a dismal campaign last term, finishing 15th in the Premier League table and therefore missing out on qualification for Europe next season.
Head coach Ruben Amorim will be desperate to turn his side’s fortunes around, and he has already been boosted by the arrival of forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
Now, though, it has emerged that one of United’s longest serving players is expected to leave the club this summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his GiveMeSport column, forward Marcus Rashford is set to depart Old Trafford during the current window.

The 27-year-old is a product of United’s youth academy and has played more than 420 times for the club across all competitions, scoring 138 goals and providing 77 assists.
He fell out of favour following Amorim’s arrival at Old Trafford in November, though, and was sent on loan to Aston Villa for the second half of last season.
During his time at Villa Park, the Englishman scored four times and registered six assists in17 games for Unai Emery’s side.
Romano claims that the England intentional is keen to play in the Champions League next term and is prioritising a potential move to La Liga champions Barcelona, although it remains to be seen whether or not the Spanish side will realise their interest in the player.
Rashford’s current contract with United is set to run until the end of the 2027/28 campaign.
