Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh is set to host a friendly football match between Manchester United and Olympique Lyonnais in July this year. Here's how you can snap up tickets now.
When Manchester United announced a three-match trip to the USA as part of their warm-up programme, us UK fans were disappointed. Travelling across the UK to see Manchester United play? Absolutely. Travelling across the pond to watch the Red Devils in action? Maybe not.
Luckily for us, Manchester United have confirmed a pre-season friendly in Edinburgh this July, making it their only match in the UK ahead of the 2023/24 Premier League Season, as well as their first match in Scotland in 13 years.
The friendly game against France's Olympique Lyonnais, more commonly referred to as Lyon, is predicted to set the tone for Manchester United in the new season, and give them the opportunity to debut new signings, tactics and kits. It also gives Scottish fans the chance to see the likes of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro and Scott McTominay in their home city.
Speaking about choosing Murrayfield Stadium for the Manchester United vs Lyon match, former Manchester United defender Wes Brown said: "Manchester United has strong links to Scotland through players past and present, as well as the obvious connection of Sir Alex Ferguson, so the prospect of this friendly against Olympique Lyonnais at BT Murrayfield is hugely exciting. Playing the game at such an iconic stadium will I’m sure make it an even more special occasion for the players and fans alike."
Manchester United football director John Murtough echoed this, saying: "Whilst as a club we have a great historical link to Scotland, this will be the first time we’ve played at BT Murrayfield, and we’re really looking forward to performing in front of our Scottish fans in what will be a great occasion in a world-class sporting venue."
Over Manchester United's 145-year existence, the football club has won 20 league titles, 12 FA Cups, six League Cups, and three European Cups. In 1999, the club became the first in history to achieve the League, FA Cup and European Cup treble. They are currently managed by Dutch football manager Erik ten Hag.
