Erik Ten Hag vs Mikel Arteta ~ Potential Line up for Manchester United vs Arsenal friendly game next week as Arteta vowed to disgrace new Man united defense line
Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal are set to clash at SoFi Stadium on July 27, marking the beginning of a three-team, three-match preseason tour across the United States. Liverpool, the current leader in the Premier League, joins them on this tour. After the initial match, Arsenal will face Liverpool at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on July 31. The tour concludes with Liverpool playing against Manchester United on August 3 in Columbia, South Carolina.
Arsenal’s participation at SoFi Stadium is particularly significant given that Stan Kroenke, the owner of Arsenal, also owns the stadium in Inglewood. This venue is also scheduled to host two group-stage matches in the upcoming Copa América: Brazil will compete against a CONCACAF playoff winner on June 24, and Venezuela will play Mexico on June 26.
The growing enthusiasm for English football in the United States is evident, as noted by Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough. He commented on the unwavering support from American fans: “The popularity of English football is continuously growing in the U.S., and we’ve come to expect passionate and enthusiastic support. They didn’t disappoint last year, and everyone at the club is looking forward to reconnecting with those fans again this summer.”
Last year, Manchester United triumphed over Arsenal at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, kicking off a four-game exhibition tour. This summer’s series of matches, promoted by TEG Sport, is branded as the Rivals in Red Tour. The event promises to reignite the rivalry between these storied clubs while showcasing top-tier football to American audiences, further cementing the sport’s rising popularity in the country.
