Manchester United’s squad for the first pre-season fixture of summer 2025 has been confirmed. The Reds will face Leeds United in Stockholm on Saturday, with Ruben Amorim naming a 29-man travelling group. The players and staff departed for Sweden earlier on Friday afternoon.

New signings Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon are included, and the match at the Strawberry Arena could offer fans their first glimpse of the duo in United colours.

Cunha has been assigned the no.10 shirt, and it was confirmed on Friday that Leon will wear no.30.

Several other squad members will be sporting new numbers, including Diogo Dalot (2), Chido Obi (32), and Tyler Fredricson (33).
