Manchester United fans are beginning to assemble in Stockholm ahead of the team’s pre-season opener in the city this Saturday afternoon (14:00 BST kick-off).
Ruben Amorim’s Reds will face old foes Leeds United – a game subscribers can watch live on MUTV – and it would be fair to say that anticipation is revving up in the Swedish capital.
Around 200 fans attended a special pre-match event put on locally by our Scandinavian Supporters’ Club on Friday evening, providing the perfect warm-up to today’s action.
Reds from Sweden, Norway, Manchester and beyond gathered at the American-themed O`Learys Hotorget restaurant in the city, for what was the latest edition of a developing tradition that offers fans the opportunity to connect the night before pre-season fixtures in Scandinavia, organised by our largest supporters’ club outside the UK.
A similar event was hosted in Oslo before our last pre-season meeting with Leeds in 2023, and the schedule this time around included a special guest appearance from two of our 1999 Scandinavian Treble winners – Sweden’s Jesper Blomqvist and Norway’s Ronny Johnsen.
The pair enjoyed answering questions during a much-anticipated Q&A session and quiz, before signing autographs and posing for pictures with the assembled supporters.
On top of that, there was live music from United fan Ryan Jarvis, a live podcast and a fan quiz, along with the opportunity to mingle with fellow Reds while having some food and drink.
