Manchester United and Leeds United will clash in a pre-season friendly match in Stockholm on Saturday, July 19, 2025. The game provides an opportunity for fans to see new signings in action and for the teams to prepare for the upcoming season.
Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, has announced the 29-man squad that will travel to Stockholm for the pre-season friendly against Leeds United. New signings Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon are both included in the squad, with Cunha taking the number 10 shirt and Leon wearing number 30. Several other players will also sport new numbers, including Diogo Dalot (2), Chido Obi (32), and Tyler Fredricson (33).
"This match is a great opportunity to integrate our new signings and test different tactical approaches," said a club spokesperson. "We are looking forward to a competitive game against Leeds."
The match will be broadcast live on MUTV, offering fans a first glimpse of the team in action ahead of the new season. However, Andre Onana and Joshua Zirkzee will remain at Carrington to recover from minor issues, with the expectation that they will join the squad for the tour of the United States next week.
This game will also be a chance for Manchester United to showcase their new Adidas away kit for the 2025/26 season. Following the match against Daniel Farke's Leeds side, United will face further friendlies against West Ham United, Bournemouth, Everton, and Fiorentina before the official season commences in mid-August. Pundits suggest that this pre-season tour will be crucial for the team to build chemistry and fitness before the competitive games begin.
