The English Premier League's Manchester United will return to the United States for the first time in five years to play Wrexham AFC at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego this July.
The Red Devils of Manchester United and the Red Dragons of the Welsh Wrexham will face off on July 25 at 7:30 p.m.
"This will be the first time the team has visited San Diego, and we are looking forward to playing in front of our passionate U.S. fans at the Snapdragon stadium," said John Murtough, Manchester United football director."Pre-season tours are always a great opportunity to give opportunities for our most promising young academy players to gain valuable experience in the first team environment, and this match against Wrexham AFC is a great example of that.
The match will be Wrexham's first club visit to the United States. The last time these two clubs faced off in a competitive fixture was in the Football Association Challenge Cup — better known as the FA Cup — in 1995, where Manchester United won 5-2 at its home grounds of Old Trafford.
