Manchester United might not be rushing back to the United States. Five years ago they won one of five pre-season friendlies this side of the pond and a fractious tour marked the beginning of the end for Jose Mourinho.
On their return Stateside results have been even worse, with one win against Arsenal and three defeats across games in New Jersey, San Diego, Houston and Las Vegas.
No wonder fans in Sin City voted with their feet, with plenty of empty seats inside the Allegiant Stadium. The good news for United is that behind the scenes this is now a club singing from the same hymn sheet and Erik ten Hag will be delighted a third new signing will be secured in the coming days.
In terms of results, it's been a disappointing tour, but pre-season is measured by different metrics and there are positive signs.
