Manchester United are just days away from beginning their preparation for the upcoming 2025/26 campaign.

There is no denying that last season was a huge disappointment for Manchester United after losing the Europa League final and finishing 15th in the Premier League table.

It is now down to Ruben Amorim and his staff to get the squad ready for a new campaign, where there will be huge pressure to bounce back.

United start the season against Arsenal in their opening fixture, but before that, Amorim and his players have a full pre-season schedule to look forward to.

Amorim has set strict deadlines for pre-season and players are currently enjoying their final few days on holiday before returning to Carrington.

Man United pre-season training begins on July 7th

With United not in the Fifa Club World Cup, the Red Devils can enjoy an uninterrupted summer of preparation.

As per the official club website, United players are scheduled to return to Carrington on July 7th to begin training.

There will then be 12 days before United’s first friendly against Leeds United in Stockholm. After that, the tour of the United States begins to participate in the Premier League Summer Series.

After returning from America, Amorim’s side will play one final friendly against Fiorentina at Old Trafford a week before the Premier League begins on the 17th of August.

Man United players will return to refurbished Carrington

United’s pre-season will see the side travel to Sweden and the United States having already toured Asia in the post-season, but the summer preparations begin at Carrington.

However, there will be a new look to the training facilities when players return this summer following the £50m ‘Project Avalon’ refurbishments.

Part of the renovation includes a new players’ gym and preparation space, medical facilities, nutrition provision, and rest and recuperation areas.

Carrington was blasted by Cristiano Ronaldo for being out of date but investment from Sir Jim Ratcliffe has allowed for a full makeover of the training facilities.

With Amorim stressing that his players reach peak fitness levels this summer, the new facilities should help to provide a new training environment that starts the season off on a high note.
