Ruben Amorim has explained the overriding feeling as Manchester United return home after winning the Premier League Summer Series.
The 2-2 draw with Everton in Atlanta clinched the trophy for the Reds, who ended the US section of Tour 2025 presented by Snapdragon with seven points from the three matches, to finish ahead of West Ham United, Bournemouth and the Toffees in the table.
The focus will now be on getting back to Carrington and preparing for our final friendly, Saturday’s Old Trafford encounter with Fiorentina, with tickets still available for the 12:45 BST kick-off, which is live on MUTV.

While pleased with the overall output in the States, Amorim said there was still much work to be done as his side follow the Snapdragon Cup clash against Fiorentina with the big Premier League opener with Arsenal on Sunday 17 August.
“We already knew this,” he said at his press conference about the need for more improvement. “It’s not that we had two weeks, and this will not change in two weeks, but we are better. Even in this game, we created chances and that is really important.
“I think it’s a perfect feeling to go back to Carrington. The momentum of the tour was perfect. We had two weeks to work in a good environment with a good feeling to go back to Carrington. We are near to the start of the season and we are going with the feeling that we need to do a lot of things.”
Ruben was asked about some comments from Bruno Fernandes, who opened the scoring from the penalty spot, with the skipper suggesting the squad could be strengthened by more recruitment and admitting the players need to show on the pitch that all the sacrifices made at the club are paid back by the performances.
“Of course, one team can always improve with more players,” replied the head coach. “But we have players to make that competition. We need to improve as a team. We have potential to improve with our players. I’m really happy with the squad.
“I think I’m happy for the players to have that feeling. It’s a sign that they understand the situation. It is a good feeling. We are going to travel, have one day off and return to Carrington to work understanding, at this club, everything is big ups and downs.”
