Erik ten Hag, the head coach of Manchester United, and his players are heading to the United States for their pre-season tour. Unfortunately, one of their players, Tyrell Malacia, will not be joining them. Along with Malacia, there are a few other key first-team players who will also be absent, including their new signing Joshua Zirkzee.
Malacia, who is a defender for the team, did not get a chance to play in any games last season due to recovering from a knee surgery. Although he has been back in training on his own this summer, he did not participate in their recent 2-0 win against Rangers. As a result, it has been confirmed that he will not be traveling with the squad for their pre-season tour, which is set to kick off in Los Angeles.
On a positive note, Leny Yoro, who recently completed his move to Old Trafford for a whopping £52 million, did get to make an appearance in the victory against Rangers. He has also been included in the tour squad, along with other notable players such as Andre Onana, Harry Maguire, Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford, Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, and Jadon Sancho. This is a strong squad that is sure to make a statement during their time in the States.
Speaking of the tour squad, let's take a look at the full list of players who will be traveling to the United States. In goal, we have Andre Onana, Tom Heaton, Radek Vitek, and Dermot Mee. The defense will consist of Harry Amass, Rhys Bennett, Jonny Evans, Will Fish, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Sam Murray, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Leny Yoro. In the midfield, we have Casemiro, Toby Collyer, Christian Eriksen, Hannibal, Jack Fletcher, Sam Mather, Scott McTominay, Mason Mount, Maxi Oyedele, and James Scanlon. And finally, in the attack, we have Antony, Amad, Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Ethan Wheatley.
However, there is one player who will not be part of the squad as he is still on holiday. Joshua Zirkzee, the striker who recently joined United for a hefty fee of £36.5 million, will not be able to link up with his new teammates until they return from their trip to the United States. He is currently taking a well-deserved break after playing for the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 tournament.
In addition to Zirkzee, several other players will also be absent from the tour due to being on vacation. This includes United captain Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez, Facundo Pellistri, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot, and Altay Bayindir. These players have either played in the Euro 2024 or the Copa America and will be returning to training at Carrington once their holiday is over.
The pre-season tour will kick off with a game against Arsenal on July 27th. They will then face Real Betis in San Diego on August 1st before wrapping up their tour with a game against Liverpool in Columbia, South Carolina, on August 4th. It's sure to be an exciting and challenging journey for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
