Manchester United have taken advantage of an appealing opportunity to spend their 2025 pre-season in the United States.

The Red Devils started their summer campaign closer to home, playing out a goalless draw against Leeds United in Stockholm before heading across the Atlantic.

Ruben Amorim brought a 32-man squad with him for the US leg of the tour, and so far results have been strong. United won both of their Premier League Summer Series matches.

They edged West Ham 2-1 before cruising past Bournemouth with a 4-1 victory. Now, Amorim’s side will finish up their US schedule with a match against Everton in Atlanta.

US pre-season tour to net Man United £7.5m

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not been shy about highlighting the financial issues at Manchester United, especially when it comes to the club’s thin cash reserves.

Following a disappointing 2024/25 campaign, United made £8m from a post-season tour in Asia, and this summer’s US trip is set to add even more to the coffers.

The Daily Mail reports that United will earn £7.5m for their participation in the Premier League Summer Series – more than any other club involved.

This is only the second time the Premier League Summer Series has been held, and there are already rumblings that some clubs want it scrapped.

Still, it gives United a valuable chance to connect with fans abroad and get some meaningful minutes against familiar league opponents before the season kicks off.

Man United’s £15m summer boost will help with PSR

Last season’s reports indicated that United were nearing their PSR threshold, suggesting Ineos might have to operate with a limited transfer budget this summer.

But it has since become clear that while the club are not in immediate danger of breaching PSR, cash flow issues have made it tough to pay for transfers up front.

The fees for Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo were structured over several years, which kept this summer’s initial outlay under £40m.

Between their tours in Asia and the US, United have brought in over £15m, not including any income from friendlies against Leeds and Fiorentina.

This should help them stay within PSR limits and could provide enough funds to push through another signing before the window closes.
