Ruben Amorim has been asked about reports that Manchester United are looking to arrange mid-season friendlies later this term.
The Reds have no midweek fixtures between now and December, due to our early elimination from the Carabao Cup and lack of European football.
The West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers games at Old Trafford are currently scheduled for Wednesday 3 December and Tuesday 30 December respectively.
There are also midweek dates set for each of the first three months of 2026, at Burnley, West Ham United and Newcastle United but, aside from those particular weeks and the international breaks, United have plenty of time potentially available between outings.
In the second half of his press conference to preview Saturday’s meeting with Sunderland, Amorim said that the club needed to take this opportunity to increase revenues and play in front of our global fanbase.
“We have to do it. We knew that when we missed Europe, and there’s a lot of things [to consider],” he said.
“We have our fans, the budget. We have to compensate [for] a lot of things.
“We have to do it, so we will do it. We want to be with our fans around the world, so we will put it all together to do that.
“If we have to do it, we have to manage and to find the space to do it.”
The Reds toured the United States in the summer, two months after concluding the 2024/25 campaign with an historic post-season trip to Malaysia and Hong Kong.
