Manchester United will face Leeds in a pre-season friendly at Croke Park on August 12th.
It will be the first soccer fixture staged at GAA HQ since the Republic of Ireland’s faced France in 2009.
United’s director of football Jason Wilcox told the club’s official website: “We’re excited to be heading to Dublin to face Leeds United as part of our pre-season preparations ahead of a big campaign.
“Playing an important fixture against one of our biggest rivals gives us a fantastic opportunity to connect with our supporters in Ireland.
“Their passion and energy will be invaluable as we build momentum and ensure the squad is in the strongest possible shape for the start of the 2026-27 season.”
United are also heading to Dublin for a training camp from Monday to Thursday next week.
