Manchester United to Face AC Milan, PSG, Atlético on Preseason Tour
Manchester United will take on AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid as part of an ambitious preseason schedule ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
The club, now under the leadership of former midfielder and newly appointed permanent manager Michael Carrick, will begin preparations on July 18 with a clash against Wrexham in Helsinki, Finland.
United will then travel to Norway to face Rosenborg BK on July 24 before meeting Atlético Madrid in Stockholm, Sweden, on August 1.
A week later, the Red Devils will return to Sweden for a high-profile encounter against Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg on August 8.
The tour will continue in Ireland, where United are scheduled to face long-time rivals Leeds United in Dublin on August 12.
Their final warm-up match before the new season will come against AC Milan in Wroclaw, Poland, on August 15.
The 2026/27 Premier League season is expected to begin the weekend of August 22, one week after United conclude their preseason programme. The full fixture list is scheduled to be released on June 19.
