Overview
- Manchester United will embark on its first-ever post-season tour, with matches scheduled in Kuala Lumpur on May 28 and Hong Kong on May 30, shortly after the Premier League finale on May 25.
- The tour is expected to generate approximately €10 million in revenue, addressing financial challenges after the club reported over £300 million in losses over the past three years.
- CEO Omar Berrada emphasized the importance of the tour in driving revenue to support investments in on-pitch success and strengthening ties with global fans and commercial partners.
- The decision has reignited concerns over player welfare, as the congested schedule adds to a season that could include up to 60 matches for some players, with international duties following soon after.
- This tour is part of a broader strategy to expand global fan engagement, complementing pre-season fixtures planned in Scandinavia and the United States.
