Manchester United announce Las Vegas friendly vs Borussia Dortmund

Manchester United will play Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas in their final pre-season tour friendly in the United States this summer.

United will take on Dortmund at the Allegiant Stadium on July 30, having already announced their academy will play a friendly against Wrexham in San Diego on July 25.

The Allegiant Stadium only opened in 2020 and is home to the Las Vegas Raiders American football team.

United football director John Murtough said: “We have worked with the manager and his staff to provide a mix of competitive opponents to play during our tour of the US and we look forward to the match against Borussia Dortmund.

“As well as gaining valuable playing time, the squad will also be participating in training camps within the best sporting facilities available, giving our players the opportunity to build fitness before the start of the new Premier League season.

“The response we have received from fans since announcing we will be returning to the US has been incredible. We already have a full house for the match in San Diego and I am sure it will be the same for this fixture in Vegas.”

United are expected to play two more friendlies in the States, with European friendlies also set to be scheduled before they fly across the Atlantic.

Dortmund thrashed United 4-1 in a pre-season friendly in Shanghai in July 2016.
