talkSPORT talks about why Manchester United often goes to Nordic warm-ups: There are many fans, and they have a lot of connection with this place.
Manchester United will play a friendly match with Leeds United in Stockholm, Sweden. talkSPORT posted a message about why Manchester United often goes to Nordic in preseason.
Manchester United will start their preseason tour in Sweden on Saturday afternoon, with their first match against Leeds United. The Red Devils hope to use this to get rid of the shadow of the worst Premier League season in team history and start a new chapter.
Amorin's first few months after taking office was not going well, and now he is using the summer window to regroup. His team will take the lead in the Premier League team in Stockholm, and this tough battle will test the team's form. Leeds United led by Daniel Falke won the Championship last season and returned to the top league after a year.
Although the official did not clearly state, Manchester United has always had a tradition of training in Scandinavia. The Red Devils have a deep relationship with Sweden. There are three players in the team history who have served as captains of the Swedish national team, namely Henrik Larson, Ibrahimovic and Swedish active captain Lindelof, who just left the team as a free agent this summer.
Old Trafford also witnessed the footprints of three other Swedes: 1999 triumphal Jespe Bromquist, as well as Anthony Ilanga and Boyan Jodjic. Manchester United and Leeds United have also often played preseasons in Norway in recent years, and played against Norway in 2015 in 2023.
Leeds United also has a huge fan base in Sweden. The club's chief operating officer Mory Eisenberg said: "We have many supporters in Scandinavia. The official Leeds United Scandinavian fan club alone has more than 8,000 members. They often go to England to watch the game. The July showdown will surely become a grand event."
