The World Cup might still be going on, but Manchester United’s preparations for the new 2026–27 season stepped up a level on Saturday with a friendly against Wrexham in Finland.
After a partial squad reported for preseason training earlier this month, United embarked on a rare exclusively European summer tour by heading to Finnish capital Helsinki. But while the club may be used to spending at least part of the off-season much further afield in North America or East Asia, Wrexham is becoming a regular opponent after a prior friendly clash in San Diego in 2023.
