Amorim Says Manchester United Is Exploring Winter Friendlies

The club is eyeing warm‑weather dates to help close a revenue gap created by a Europe‑free calendar.

Overview

  • United have no continental fixtures after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham, leaving midweek slots open.
  • Ruben Amorim confirmed the club is looking at scheduling exhibitions to “compensate” for lost income and to engage fans worldwide.
  • Media reports link potential tours to Saudi Arabia or Dubai and a possible game against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr, though the PA news agency says nothing is set.
  • A friendly with AC Milan has also been mooted, with both clubs currently without European commitments.
  • An early Carabao Cup exit compounded the revenue shortfall that the club is seeking to mitigate through winter friendlies.
