The Athletic reporting we’ve signed up for matches in the US this summer. Unsurprising given Foleys involvement, however I think this is the first time I’ve seen it mentioned as fact.
“This summer, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal will all play pre-season in the U.S., with United, Liverpool and Arsenal facing one another, while Chelsea and City have organised a fixture against each other. These fixtures yield millions of dollars in appearance fees but also build a body of evidence that shows the potential of competitive European fixtures on U.S. soil. More Premier League clubs will be in town this summer, with Bournemouth and Aston Villa already signed up, as well as EFL side Wrexham”
