All of our senior squad members who weren’t at either Euro 2024 or the Copa America are now in Manchester, preparing for the 2024–25 season.

That starts with a few days of fitness testing and training before we fly out to the United States on Friday for a bumper four-game pre-season tour.

 

We’ll face Celtic in North Carolina, AC Milan in New York, Barcelona in Orlando and Chelsea in Ohio before heading back to England.

Having greeted the likes of Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish and Stefan Ortega Moreno through the door on Monday, the serious business continued earlier today with Pep Guardiola directing proceedings.

It’s been a typical Manchester welcome for the players, with rain showers between bursts of sunshine.
