Full Schedule of Manchester United Pre-season Matches, 12 July-6 August 2023

Liputan6.com, Jakarta So far, Erik ten Hag has brought fresh air to Manchester United. The presence of the man from the Netherlands gradually made the performance of the Red Devils much more competitive than the previous season.

Together with ten Hag, MU managed to beat Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final as well as win the first trophy in the last six years. Meanwhile in the Premier League, the Red Devils were able to finish in third place in the 2022/2023 final standings while ensuring a ticket to the Champions League next season.

MU even challenged Manchester City in the FA Cup final. Unfortunately, the Red Devils lost with a score of 1-2 over their city rivals. Meanwhile in the Europa League, Bruno Fernandes et al advanced to the quarter-finals before being eliminated by Sevilla who won 5-2 on aggregate.

Ten Hag and his players are determined to perform better next season. Because of that, they also try to make the best use of the competition break to make it happen.

Apart from aggressively looking for additional players, MU has also been awaited by a number of trial agendas. The friendly match aims to finalize the strategy that will be used next season.

As reported by the official website, Manchester United will tour the United States this month. In Uncle Sam’s country, the Red Devils will meet a number of big clubs such as Arsenal to Real Madrid. In addition, MU is also scheduled to appear in Dublin, Ireland against Atletico Bilbao.

In this tour, MU is unlikely to be strengthened by its flagship goalkeeper, David de Gea. The Spanish goalkeeper, as is known, has been in free agent status since June 30.

MU actually has the option of extending De Gea’s contract for another year. However, the salary issue seems to have prevented the agreement between the two parties from being reached.

Meanwhile, other news stated that striker Mason Greenwood, who had stumbled on a rape case, remains on the list of players being retained for the 2023/2024 season.
