Manchester United drop 10 stars as Ten Hag confirms 29-man squad for US tour

Erik ten Hag has named a 29-man squad for Manchester United’s pre-season tour in the United States, notably leaving 10 key players behind.

The squad will travel to Los Angeles for matches against Arsenal, Real Betis, and Liverpool.

New signing Leny Yoro, who joined from Lille last week, is among the traveling group. Also included are Christian Eriksen, Tom Heaton, Rasmus Hojlund, and Scott McTominay, who have returned to training.

Other notable players making the trip include Andre Onana, Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Mason Mount, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho.

However, recent addition Joshua Zirkzee is not part of the squad as he continues his summer break following Euro 2024.

Altay Bayindir, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez, Facundo Pellistri, and Luke Shaw are also absent due to their international commitments and mandatory holidays.

Tyrell Malacia is recovering from an injury at Carrington and Lisandro Martinez and Garnacho, fresh from their Copa America victory, are spending time with their families.

Mainoo and Shaw, who played in the Euro final for England, are also on a three-week break.

United will conduct their training at the University of California in Los Angeles, with their first match against Arsenal at the SoFi Stadium on Saturday.
