Ruben Amorim and his Manchester United staff have returned to Carrington ahead of pre-season training kicking off.
United's players will report to Carrington after their summer break next week, but Amorim and his staff are already back at base.
United’s first pre-season game comes in the shape of a clash with Leeds United in Stockholm on July 19. Just days after their trip to Sweden they will jet off to the United States where they will participate in the Premier League Summer Series, facing West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton.
They’ll then return to England before a friendly against Fiorentina at Old Trafford on Saturday, 9 August.
United will be looking to put a dismal campaign behind them when the 2025/26 season begins. Amorim’s side finished 15th in the Premier League and were dumped out of both domestic cup competitions.
A Europa League final defeat to Tottenham ensured the club ended the season without silverware and will not host European football next season.

Matheus Cunha will be handed the chance to get to know his teammates when the players report for pre-season. United hoped Bryan Mbeumo would join Cunha at Carrington but they remain locked in talks with Brentford over the Cameroon international.
The Premier League released the fixture list for the 2025/26 season last month, with Amorim's side handed a tough start.
First up is a home clash with Arsenal before a trip to Fulham. Burnley are the second visitors of the season to Old Trafford with the first Manchester derby of the season to follow before a trip to Chelsea.
That means United will face three of last season's top four teams in their opening five games.
