MANCHESTER UNITED'S US TOUR STARTS
TODAY
United are heading back to the United States for
Tour 2015 to defend the International Champions
Cup...
This Monday afternoon, Louis van Gaal and his
Manchester United squad will embark on Tour
2015, presented by Aon, as the preparations for
the new campaign continue in earnest.
The Reds will jet out to the United States to
begin the defence of the International
Champions Cup which was claimed in impressive
fashion last summer. Van Gaal’s men face four
matches during the stay across the pond, against
Mexican outfit Club America (17 July), MLS side
San Jose Earthquakes (21 July) and European
giants Barcelona (25 July) and Paris Saint-
Germain (29 July).
United fans could see new signings Memphis
Depay and Matteo Darmian in action next Friday
when the Reds play the opening tour match in
Seattle against Club America. Memphis spent
last week training with his new team-mates and
was officially unveiled alongside van Gaal at Old
Trafford on Friday. Darmian's transfer from
Torino was finalised on Saturday and the Italian
defender says he can't wait to get started.

THE PLAYERS SAY...
LUKE SHAW
"I think the tour is the most important time to
get to know everyone and to settle into the
group as a new player. I think the players that
have come here in the past few years will say
exactly the same thing and know how it feels.
It’s never easy coming to a new club but
everyone here is great and really helps you."
TYLER BLACKETT
“Going on tour last year was a great experience
for me and I learnt just how massive the club is.
In America you don’t expect people to know your
name, especially as a young player, but they did
- it was unbelievable. The trip also helps you get
to know the other players and learn how it is to
be a United player. Being involved with the first
team is an adventure and a good achievement
and I want to keep learning and improving."
JUAN MATA
"It was unbelievable to see last year how many
supporters we have in the United States and
even playing teams like Real Madrid, we had
more supporters than them, so it’s amazing to
feel the States are with us. I think it’s very nice
to know that the American fans are trying to
learn more about the history of the club and we
really, really love them and we thank them a lot
because we can feel their support even from
overseas, and hopefully we can see a lot of them
this summer."
