Manchester United Weigh February Saudi Friendly After Fixture Shift

A decision is slated after the January 11 FA Cup tie to help address revenue lost by the lack of European football.

Overview

  • United’s away match at Everton has been moved to February 23, opening a mid-month window for a potential overseas friendly.
  • Talks with Saudi officials have been reported, though no agreement has been signed and plans remain conditional.
  • AC Milan has been mentioned as a possible opponent given a compatible February schedule and absence from European play.
  • Head coach Rúben Amorim has publicly supported organizing a mid-season friendly to compensate for missed income.
  • The club recently earned about £7 million from a two-match post-season tour in Asia, underscoring the commercial rationale.
