The 2023–24 season is the 137th in the history of Manchester United, their 32nd season in the Premier League and their 49th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. The club are participating in the Premier League, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the UEFA Champions League.

It will be the first season since 2010–11 without goalkeeper David de Gea and defender Phil Jones, who left the club when their contracts expired. With De Gea and Jones' departures, United were without a Premier League winner in their squad for the first time since the 1992–93 season;[1] however, the short-term signing of Jonny Evans, who won three Premier League titles with the club, for their pre-season campaign means that this is briefly not the case.

If Evans is not signed to a permanent contract, this will also be the first time since the 1973–74 season that United will not select a player who either used to play for them under Sir Alex Ferguson or would go on to do so in one of the Scot's United teams.[2]

Pre-season and friendlies

[edit]

On 27 March 2023, United announced a tour of the United States, with friendly matches against Wrexham – who are co-owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and who also have former United goalkeeper Ben Foster in their squad – in San Diego,[3] and Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas.[4] On 12 May, the club announced their third and fourth pre-season friendlies in the US against fierce rivals Arsenal in New York City,[5] and in Houston against Real Madrid, which will be played one day after Wrexham game.[6] A fifth friendly, the first based in the UK, against Lyon in Edinburgh was also added to the pre-season calendar.[7] On 25 May, the club announced a friendly against Roses rivals and EFL Championship club Leeds United in Oslo.[8] A seventh match, against Athletic Bilbao in Dublin, was announced on 13 June.[9] On 29 June, the club announced a home friendly against French club Lens, to be played the day before the match against Athletic Bilbao.[10]

United won their first match of pre-season against Leeds 2–0, thanks to second-half goals from substitutes Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill,[11] while Donny van de Beek's goal against Lyon gave them their second win in Edinburgh.[12] In the first game of the United States tour, first-half goals from newly appointed captain Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho gave United a 2–0 win over Arsenal; they also won the post-match exhibition penalty shoot-out 5–3.[13] With their match against Real Madrid scheduled for Houston the next day, United fielded a team made up largely of under-21 players against Wrexham on 25 July. They went 2–0 down in the first half, though Marc Jurado pulled a goal back on the stroke of half-time; however, Dan Gore was sent off early in the second half and a third Wrexham goal completed a 3–1 defeat for United.[14] They then suffered a second loss in as many days when goals from Jude Bellingham and Joselu gave Real Madrid a 2–0 win in Houston; newly signed goalkeeper André Onana made his debut in the game, playing the full 90 minutes.[15] Manchester United's tour of the United States ended with a 3–2 defeat against Borussia Dortmund at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on the 31st of July. Diogo Dalot put United ahead in the 24th minute, but Donyell Malen scored twice in two minutes just before half-time to give Dortmund the lead. Antony levelled the scores before Youssoufa Moukoko secured the win for the Germans.[16]

The Reds returned to winning ways with a 3–1 comeback win over Lens at Old Trafford. Florian Sotoca put the visitors ahead after chipping Onana from the edge of the centre circle in the first half, before Marcus Rashford, Antony and Casemiro scored in the second period to turn the game around for United.[17] The following day, a second string United side drew 1–1 with Athletic Bilbao in Dublin. The La Liga team scored first through Nico Williams, but an added time equaliser from Facundo Pellistri meant that United ended their pre-season campaign with a draw.[18]
