The 2022-23 season might only just be in the rearview mirror but the countdown is on for Manchester United's pre-season action.
It's a matter of weeks before Erik ten Hag's side take to the field again with seven friendlies taking place across four countries and two continents before the big kick-off in August. United take on Wolves in their Premier League opener on Monday, August 14.
But before then comes the warm-up action with fans hopefully getting the chance to watch new signings in action for the first time. Ten Hag is keen to add to his squad with several positions in need of addressing.
The friendlies present the perfect opportunity to bed players in on and off the pitch and we've taken a look at the fixture list, ticket details and TV options for the summer schedule.

Who are United playing in pre-season?
United kick off their pre-season schedule with a home game against Leeds United on Wednesday, July 12 at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo. The game is a 4pm (11am ET) kick-off.
From there, Ten Hag's side travel to Scotland to take on Lyon on Wednesday, July 19 with a 2pm UK kick-off time (9am ET) before departing for the States. The Reds are playing four games in America across four cities.
Premier League rivals Arsenal are the first opponents at the MetLife Stadium in New York. That fixture takes place on Saturday, July 22 and kicks off at 10pm UK time (5pm ET).
A few days later United will field a young team to take on Wrexham, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The Dragons won the National League title last season to return to the EFL. The game is a 3.30am UK kick-off time (7pm ET) at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.
Just 24 hours later United's first team squad will be in action against Spanish giants Real Madrid. That blockbuster fixture is also a 3.30am UK kick-off (7pm ET) and is being played at the NGR Stadium in Houston.
The American tour ends with a contest against German club Borussia Dortmund at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Monday, July 31. Kick-off is 2am UK time (9pm ET). United close out their pre-season with a game at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin against Spanish outfit Atletico Bilbao on Saturday, August 6. Kick-off is 4pm UK time or 11am ET.
How can I watch the games on TV?
United's in-house channel MUTV will be screening all the club's pre-season matches. At this stage, that remains the only option to watch the games for viewers anywhere in the world. A subscription costs £7.99 a month or £29.99 for a year.
Are there tickets available?
As you would expect, demand is high for tickets. The game with Bilbao in Ireland has sold out as has the fixture against Leeds in Norway, while there is limited availability to watch United take on Lyon in Scotland. There remains availability for all four of the US games, albeit very few tickets remain for the Wrexham contest. Ticketmaster is the official partner for United and the site is offering re-sale tickets.
