Manchester United have already begun laying the groundwork for the 2025–26 campaign.
According to Manchester Evening News, conversations have begun about which young players to bring on the pre-season tour.
Jason Wilcox (technical director), Darren Fletcher (first-team coach), Nick Cox (head of the academy), Travis Binnion (Under-21 manager) and Adam Lawrence (Under-18 manager) will provide feedback to manager Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils are scheduled to face Leeds in Stockholm before flying to the United States.
The tour will mark Amorim’s first pre-season at the helm of United and it promises to be a key moment in setting his long-term blueprint.
The Portuguese head coach is known for developing young players.
Over the last few weeks, he has given chances to promising academy products like Chido Obi, Harry Amass, Tyler Fredricson.
Many other youngsters such as Godwill Kukonki, Jack Moorhouse and Jack Fletcher have been involved in first-team training.
United have a great pool of talent that has done exceedingly well with the youth teams and a few of them are gaining valuable senior experience out on loan.
The Red Devils are set to revamp their squad in the summer with Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen expected to leave after their contracts expire in June.
They are also open to permanent exits for Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Jadon Sancho.
Given financial limitations and the scale of the rebuild, Amorim will not be able to plug every gap through signings alone.
He will be expected to uncover hidden gems from within United’s famed academy and guide them into the first-team spotlight.
Binnion and Lawrence, who have watched these youngsters mature up close, will be crucial in identifying those ready to make the leap.
Wilcox brings a sharp eye for emerging talent, while Fletcher’s experience of what it takes to thrive at Old Trafford adds another valuable layer of insight.
