Man Utd announce 29-man squad for USA tour as Erik ten Hag excludes 10 players
Manchester United have confirmed their 29-man squad for this summer's pre-season tour of the United States after jetting off from the UK on Wednesday. Erik ten Hag has a mix of experienced and youthful options for three Stateside friendlies, but several major names are absent.
United have flown to Los Angeles, where they will face fellow Premier League giants Arsenal at the SoFi Stadium on Sunday.
The Red Devils will then meet La Liga outfit Real Betis at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego next Thursday before clashing with bitter rivals Liverpool in North Carolina three days later.
