Manchester United's preseason preparations for the 2026/27 season are in full swing, with head coach Michael Carrick at the helm. Following a strong second half to last season, Carrick's task is to build on their success and generate excitement among supporters. United's preseason began with a 1-0 defeat to Wrexham in Helsinki on July 18, followed by a dominant 5-0 victory over Rosenborg, a 2-1 win against Atletico Madrid, a 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain, and another 1-1 draw with Leeds United in Dublin.

The team will continue their preparations with a game against AC Milan in Wroclaw, Poland. Unlike previous years, United's preseason will not be a tour to distant locations such as the United States or China, but will remain in Europe. The club's aim is to support football preparations while connecting with supporters across the continent.

Player welfare has been considered in the schedule, with some players having recently returned from the World Cup. United's first Premier League match of the 2026/27 season will be against Hull City on August 22, starting at 12:30 p.m. local time.
