Man United players were all smiles as they jetted off to the United States for the pre-season Summer Series tournament in the country.

New signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha had spots on the plane and were snapped boarding alongside their team-mates, while the former sat next to international team-mate Andre Onana for take-off.

Cunha, meanwhile, posed alongside Tom Heaton and Luke Shaw and he continues to settle in at his new side, having made his debut against Leeds in United’s first pre-season game at the weekend. 

But United have confirmed their 32-man travelling party and the 25-year-old Brazilian joined his team-mates on the team flight to O’Hare International Airport, landing in Chicago on Tuesday evening.

There were notable absentees, however, with United’s Bomb Squad left behind, as well as Harry Maguire.

Maguire has stayed behind to attend to a personal matter although it’s hoped that the England defender will be able to join up with the tour at some stage.

He posted a message on social media on Tuesday saying: ‘All is fine now. I will be travelling tomorrow to meet up with the squad, thanks for your concern.’ 

Lisandro Martinez will travel but is unlikely to play as he continues his rehabilitation from a cruciate ligament injury.

United’s latest new signing, Mbeumo, was on the plane after completing his £71million move from Brentford just in time for the tour which sees United compete in the Premier League Summer Series against West Ham in New Jersey, Bournemouth in Chicago and Everton in Atlanta.

As expected, Ruben Amorim’s ‘bomb squad’ have been left behind to train at Carrington as Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia seek moves away from Old Trafford this summer. 

Marcus Rashford is already in Barcelona ahead of his unveiling on Wednesday.

United’s third signing of the summer, Paraguayan left back Diego Leon, has also been included on the tour along with some of United’s other promising youngsters, Tyler Fredricson, Reece Munro, Jack Fletcher, Sekou Kone, Bendito Mantato, Chido Obi and Ethan Williams.

Ruben Amorim and his players will be based in Chicago before facing West Ham in their opening game in New Jersey on Saturday.

It’s a vital summer for Amorim and his players, with the Portuguese not able to afford a season as poor as the last, which saw him take over from Erik ten Hag in the hotseat.

United finished 15th in the Premier League, also missing out in the Europa League final and failing to qualify for Europe next season.

They have four more pre-season games until they kick off their new campaign on August 17, facing the three sides in the Summer Series before taking on Fiorentina at Old Trafford on August 9.
