How the Reds reacted to first summer friendly

Sunday 20 July 2025 08:24

Manchester United were held to a scoreless draw against Leeds United in Stockholm, in what was our first pre-season outing of the new campaign.

With that came the chance to catch a first glimpse at new signings Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon, plus the opportunity to watch the rest of the Reds in action for the first time since the end of the last campaign.

Ruben Amorim’s men will have gone to Sweden with winning their aim but, despite only managing a draw, it was an honour as always to travel to another country and connect with some of our many international fans.

Players took to social media after the game to thank those supporters, and mark a thoroughly enjoyable pre-season trip. Here’s our pick of the bunch…
