Arsenal are heading to the Big Apple!

Mikel Arteta's side will be playing in New York after the club announced a second date on their pre-season tour to the United States in July. 

The Gunners are already due to play in Washington DC, where they will play against the MLS All Stars at Audi Field on Wednesday, July 19 in a match which has already sold out.

Three days later the North Londoners take a trip to the city that never sleeps to take on Manchester United as part of Arteta's pre-season preparations for season 2023-24

Arsenal will be lining up against the Red Devils in a high-profile pre-season match at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, July 22, marking the first time the two clubs have played each other on American soil.

Sporting Director Edu said: “The plans for pre-season are making good progress, with the match against Manchester United in New York being another important part of our preparations. Playing against strong opposition in a great stadium in front of so many of our supporters in New York will provide Mikel and the squad with a strong test and great experience ahead of the new season.

"We’ve now announced two matches in the US in July and look forward to announcing further details of our pre-season soon."

Exclusive pre-sale tickets for the Manchester United match in New York will be available from Tuesday, May 2, with general on-sale ticket access beginning on Thursday, May 4.
