Manchester United will face Arsenal in a much-anticipated pre-season 2024 friendly this weekend in Los Angeles. 

The match will not only act as an important warm-up for both Premier League heavyweights but also give spectators a preview of what to expect in the upcoming season.

The Manchester United vs Arsenal pre-season friendly will start at 5:30 AM IST on Sunday, July 28 at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Under the tutelage of manager Erik ten Hag, Manchester United will take on Arsenal for the third of their five friendlies scheduled this summer. 

The Red Devils are seeking to gain momentum as important players return from Euro 2024, and the squad is gradually taking shape for the new season. 

They lost their first pre-season friendly against Rosenberg 0-1 but bounced back to beat the Rangers 2-0 before heading to the USA.

On the other hand, Arsenal narrowly defeated Bournemouth on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Carson, California. 

Mikel Arteta’s squad displayed resilience, with several key players returning after their summer breaks. 

Manchester United will welcome back Rasmus Hojlund, and Christian Eriksen, who were busy in their Euro 2024 duties.

Leny Yoro has also joined the squad for the US tour, but their latest signing, Joshua Zirkzee, remains unavailable.

For Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz are set to return to action.
