Manchester United will make an unprecedented third successive trip to the United States for their pre-season tour this summer.
United will have another three-game tour, this time primarily on the East Coast, where they will be competing in the Premier League's Summer Series.
Having been based in California the past two summers, United will be based in Chicago for head coach Ruben Amorim's first tour.
United will start their tour schedule against West Ham United on July 26 at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. United played there in July 2023 when they beat Arsenal 2-0.
After the West Ham match, United will take on Bournemouth at Soldier Field in Chicago, where they last visited in 2015 under Louis van Gaal.
The tour ends against Everton at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where United have never ventured to before.
United technical director Jason Wilcox said: “The weeks leading up to a new Premier League season is always an exciting time for Manchester United players and fans alike, and we enjoy spending that period in the US, taking advantage of world-class training facilities and stadiums, and engaging with fans.
“Playing other teams from the Premier League provides the players with an opportunity to gain valuable playing time against top opposition and for our passionate fans to see some of the most famous teams in world football playing live at three of the most iconic stadiums in North America.”
United are expected to play a pre-season friendly in Europe before they fly to the States.
