    You've nailed it there Andy. Chasing the big bucks in the USA is detrimental to pre season preparation. Too much travelling and media duties. Sadly the financial crisis at the club means it's a necessary evil. Money has well and truly ruined the beautiful game.

    Pre season matches are important for getting in shape and trying tactics, but MUFC tours have become like a traveling circus meant to make money for the Glazers. Players should be getting a good amount rest to recover and then a carefully scheduled program to maximize fitness, durability, and team tactics for the new season. I sometimes wonder if all the injuries this club have are due to lack of rest and making them go on tour.

    I think Brian Kidd made his debut on a tour of the USA in 67, about 9 months later he scored in the European cup final. United also toured the states in 1950 ish, and one game kicked off so late it finished after midnight.

    Bit late to this, but I’m an expat in the states and still have my ST at United. To see a local team for the year is around $3,500 at best. My ST at OT is about $1,100. Cheaper for me to fly home twice and see United than it is to watch a local team. Btw after tonight the sofi is nice and everything but matrix turf isn’t world class - and that’s a 2026 World Cup stadium too.. Like most sports in the US, it’s all about the event and the experience and spectacle and the actual game is kind of an afterthought.

    Man United was supposed to play a pre-season match in Jakarta back in 2009. I bought the ticket and all but it was cancelled due to a terrorist attack. Anyway... I wish Man United would consider playing a pre-season in rarely visited areas. Like... I bet a pre-season tour around South America or Sub-Saharan Africa or The Balkans would be an amazing experience. I don't know if it's interesting enough financially but come on...!!!

    @mikehuggonson3343 Před měsícem

    Whilst United may make a shed load of money on these preseason games, you can guarantee that at least 2 of our star players will get injured and miss the early part/ or all of the season, which might just be the difference between getting or missing out on a Champion's league place. Fingers crossed

    All this trotting around the USA needs to stop, the timezones are just silly & you're essentially zigzagging a continent every few days. Is it really worth a few million? Stick to Europe, loads of great weather camps in Algarve, Spain or Switzerland where you can play teams in stadiums or behind closed doors. Having said that, if this is the compromise we have to make to keep premier league games at home...I'd take it.
