Man Utd leave 10 stars at home as Erik ten Hag confirms 29-man squad for pre-season tour of America

ERIK TEN HAG has named his 29-man squad for their pre-season tour to the US.

But Manchester United fans will spot that there are 10 Red Devil stars missing from the teamsheet.

United will fly to Los Angelesb to begin their pre-season trip that includes games against Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool. 

New recruit Leny Yoro is among the 29-man group, following his arrival from Lille last week.

Christian Eriksen, Tom Heaton, Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay will also feature after returning to training earlier this month.

Plus the likes of Andre Onana, Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Mason Mount, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho have also joined Ten Hag's travelling squad.

But recent signing Joshua Zirkzee is not a part of the team as he continues to take his summer break following Euro 2024.

The same goes for Altay Bayindir, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez, Facundo Pellistri and Luke Shaw who are also on leave following their international appearances.

Tyrell Malacia is absent from the squad as he continues his rehabilitation from injury under the guidance of medical staff at Carrington.

Lisandro Martinez and Garnacho, who won the Copa America with Argentina in the US, are enjoying time with their families.

Mainoo and Luke Shaw, who were part of the England team beaten by Spain in the Euro final, are also entitled to three weeks’ mandatory holiday.

United will do all their training at the University of California campus in Los Angeles, where they are due to play Arsenal at the SoFi Stadium on Saturday.

And the Red Devils seem to have learned from their past mistakes. 

After last year’s challenging pre-season tour that spanned Europe and the US, accumulating a staggering 15,236 air miles during a gruelling 62-game season, they’ve adjusted their approach.

United are spending two fewer nights away and will play a total of six pre-season games, compared to eight last summer.

Mainoo suffered an ankle injury which ruled the wonderkid out for four months until late November.

And the Red Devils season in general was a disaster after Ten Hag's team was decimated by injuries.
