NewsLiverpool to face Arsenal and Manchester United on return to USA for pre-season tour
Liverpool FC will return to the USA this summer for a pre-season tour, facing off against Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United.
The Reds will come up against Arsenal at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on July 31.
That game will be followed by a clash with Manchester United at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina on August 3.
“We are proud to announce our highly anticipated return to the USA, providing a great environment for the squad to prepare for the season ahead,” said Ben Latty, the club’s commercial director.
“Pre-season tours always present exceptional opportunities for our supporters, the team and our official partners to engage in memorable experiences within a key focus market for the club.
“We know millions of super-passionate American fans love this club and what we stand for, a fact underlined when our televised game with Arsenal in December became the most-watched Premier League game in US history.
“The USA is an important market for the club and our partners; with 67 official supporters clubs, international academies across 12 states, and the USA being the number one international market for our merchandising business.
“We eagerly await the opportunity to bring the club closer to the fans and look forward to playing in these iconic venues.”
