This is the second summer in a row that Arsenal and Man United have faced each other in the United States, following their sold-out match at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium last July.

“It’s great to come back to the United States this summer,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said as part of the club’s announcement. “Our matches against Manchester United and Liverpool will be excellent preparation ahead of the new season.

“Our tour last year was a real success and it’s always an incredible experience to play in front of our passionate fans in the United States. We can’t wait to come back and see everyone again.”

Last year, United played four preseason matches in the United States in front of a total of 235,168 fans.
