Premier League rivals Manchester United and Arsenal will meet at SoFi Stadium on July 27 in the first match of a three-team, three-game preseason tour of the United States. Liverpool, the current league leader, is the third team involved. The Reds will face Arsenal at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on July 31 before facing Manchester United on August 3 in Columbia, South Carolina.
Arsenal are an easy pick for SoFi as Stan Kroenke, the team’s owner, also owns the Inglewood Stadium. SoFi will also host two organizing events at this summer’s Copa America: Brazil will face the winner of CONCACAF qualifying on June 24 and Venezuela will face the winner of CONCACAF qualifying on June 24. in Mexico two days later.
“The popularity of English football continues to grow in the United States and we expect passionate and enthusiastic support,” John Murtough, Manchester United’s director of football, said in a statement. “They didn’t disappoint last year and everyone at the club is looking forward to reconnecting with those enthusiasts this summer. “
United beat Arsenal at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, last July in the first game of a four-game exhibition tour. This summer’s games are promoted through TEG Sport as Rivals in Red Tour.
The pre-sale of the SoFi fit opens on Monday at nine o’clock in the morning on the TEG Sport website.
