# United States pre-season tour announced

**Manchester United have announced they will be returning to the United States for a second consecutive year this summer, as part of Tour 2015, presented by Aon.**

The trip till come 65 years after their initial visit to North America, and will see them compete to retain their International Champions Cup title. United saw off competition from AS Roma, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Liverpool last season to claim success, and will be hoping to achieve a similar feat this summer.

However, dates, venues and most importantly opponents are yet to be confirmed. Details, alongside with ticket prices, are to be announced in the coming weeks.

Manchester United group managing director, Richard Arnold, commented on the tour, saying: “The club is delighted to be returning to the United States for Tour 2015, presented by Aon. Manchester United made history in its last visit to the United States by breaking the country’s soccer attendance record and the huge level of support for the club was evident in every city we visited.

“This summer’s tour is the latest in a long line of visits to the US; a tradition that began some 65 years ago under the guidance of the great Sir Matt Busby. This tour will not only provide the team with first-rate preparation for the season ahead, it will also allow many of United’s eight million US followers to get closer to the club they love.”

The tour will be presented by Aon, who offer expertise in risk management, insurance, reinsurance brokerage and human resources solutions. Their president and chief executive officer, Greg Case, added:

“We are thrilled that our partner Manchester United is returning to the United States for Tour 2015, presented by Aon. The tour provides the club increased exposure to the US marketplace and presents Aon with a great opportunity to reinforce our shared values of teamwork and excellence with clients and colleagues around the country. We are proud to be the ‘Presenting Partner’ of Tour 2015 and look forward to another exciting round of matches.”
