Manchester United will compete against Premier League rivals in a pre-season tournament in the United States that will see them traveling nearly 9,000 miles.
The Red Devils will try to shake off their gloomy campaign 2024/25 in three American states and play three Prem teams.
United takes on West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton in the Premier League Summer Series in July and August.
It is the third year that United has taken their preparations for the season to the US.
The side of Ruben Amorim starts their tour with a journey of 3,334 miles from Manchester to New Jersey, where they will be confronted against West Ham at Metlife Stadium on July 26 – the home of the NFL's New York Jets and New York Giants.
They then go on board another plane four days later to fly 782 miles to AFC Bournemouth in Chicago.
That game will take place in Soldier Field, one of the oldest and most famous stadiums in the NFL and the home field of MLS Club Chicago Fire.
After this, the Red Devils will then make a 714-MIJL trip four days later in Atlanta to arrive in Atlanta.
There they play their last game of the pre-season tour, opposite Everton in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
As soon as they have confronted the Toffees, United goes back to Manchester in another 4,080 miles.

Jason Wilcox, technical director of Manchester United, said: “The weeks prior to a new Premier League season is always an exciting time for both Manchester United players and fans.
“And we enjoy spending that period in the US, benefit from training facilities and stadiums of world class and dealing with fans.
“Playing other teams from the Premier League offers the players the chance to get valuable playing time against top opposition.
“And for our passionate fans to see some of the most famous teams in world football play live in three of the most iconic stadiums in North America.”
The Globetrotting Flops hope that they can turn their shape for the 2025/26 season.
The side of Ruben Amorim is this season in the lower half of the Premier League table and needs major changes in the future.
Even Amorim admitted this week that his side has “deep scars” that needs to be resolved to turn things around.
