Are you sure about that? Copa América finishes July 4. The match is on July 25. Didn't our WC players join up in the later stages of the US tour last year?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Only those who got knocked out at the group stage.
Trying to buy tickets from ticketmaster and I can only find seats which are "accessible seating" for wheelchairs. Can a person with functioning legs buy those seats?
wth is scalping? Touting?
Looking at the schedule on wiki page, looks like there are no inter-group final later like last time when we played Liverpool in final.
MUFC vs San Jose Quakes pre sale is now open. Game is on Tuesday July 21 in Berkeley. You have to buy the tickets from the UC Berkeley athletics website (Cal Athletics).
Password is ONEUNITED ... There are others but that one works

Yes.
I think they will be there if they are knocked out early. If they reach the final, I doubt they will be back for the tour and rightfully so to be honest.
Go in a wheelchair
It's a plain league this year, I think.
That's fair enough. I remember that even for the WC, only the players knocked out in the group stages (Rooney, Shaw, Mata etc) came to the tour while guys like Januzaj and Van Persie didn't.
Ah, there's enough European talent in the two teams to be a cracker of a game even without their front three and Di Maria.
I wouldn't worry, Ed will provide fresh talentIt's a plain league this year, I think.

Cannot believe people are paying hundreds of dollars to see us pre season!
Anyway. I'm guessing since tickets are being sold the times of the games are known? Can anyone provide a link i can't find the times anywhere. Preferably in BST so i don't have to do maths

I know it's way too early, but when is the tour squad announced? A week or so before we kick off?

What a dick move by the club, absolutely awful way to treat the fans . Attention to detail is one thing but it's a fecking pre season game

I'd be pissed if i already bought a ticket. Hopefully those who did can get into the smaller stadium.
An absolute dick move by the club! I have a bunch of friends (some from the mid west) who were to fly into SF for this game. Refunding a $100 ticket is one thing, but what about Flight tickets/hotels. The US is such a huge country, travelling within this country involves more time, effort and money than travelling within England.
If it was a massive flight across time zones then it would be more understandable, but a four hour round trip? It's just like going to Birmingham and back.
unless Woody and LVG get busy in the next 7-10 days this tour will be serious anti-climatic!
When are the players back to training?
They've changed from a 60k seater stadium to an 18k seater? Sounds like the tickets weren't selling as well as they'd have hoped.
Monday.
Be shocked if they couldn't sell more than 16k in the Bay Area. That's a lot of money left on the table and to me shows how much the club are willing to do whatever LVG thinks is needed to get back to winning ways because ultimately success is what's going to continue to fuel the world wide marketing wheel.
I'd be pissed too. I've already bought tickets and reserved a hotel for the Barca game for instance. Traveling needs advanced planning
Excellent, not long now then :-)
Been fecking ages!
Shocking move, totally inconsiderate of the fans over 2 hours of driving time. Why aren't they playing at the 49ers new stadium?
Think I payed $220 to see United at the Big House but that's dream shit. THE stadium with THE squad. Part of a record crowd. Totally worth it.
It does look like a bad move by united, but that is Van Gaal.. He is known as a stickler for things to be a certain way and we dont know what other reasons might be for change of venue other than travel time..
Maybe he feels the two hour travel back on a coach might be bad for us during pre season.. It is not an option during the season, but it is an option to be at our best when the season kicks off..
We did great last pre season, but had a dreadful start to the actual season, which affected our final league place.. Not saying we could have won the league, but a better start could have pushed for 3rd comfortably?!
So although, I agree it is bad for the fans who had planned this before hand and it sets them back financially, if it helps us start our season right, I am for it..
I read on telegraph that those fans who got their money refunded, get first option on these tickets at the new stadium.. As one of the posts above said, his mates could make the 4 hour round trip and still make the game.. It is not my place to say what they should do.. But cancellations happen..

Why couldn't they have just done this from the start? They've been saying since last year that van Gaal was going to have a problem with long travels during pre-season so why did they set it all up and then let him change the plans weeks later?
Maybe the manager didn't know how far the travel was and when he found out, he wanted to change the venue to suit his needs?!
But you'd think he'd be involved in the planning of the whole pre-season, seen as travel time is so important to him surely he'd be looking at that. The whole thing is just idiotic for me. If he agreed to it in the first place without realising the distance then van Gaal is an idiot and if he wasn't consulted to the venues then whoever was in charge of setting it up is an idiot.
I'll just pay my $10 or whatever it is to watch the MU tour online.
I paid over $400 for 4 tickets to the Barca game but I paid nowt for the flights, hotel or car so I don't feel so bad.
We have a couple of friends in San Jose we're going with otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Exhibition games are weird affairs. I feel like I'm paying to watch a training session.

The best part about the US tour is getting access to the training sessions. Much better than the matches themselves since you're very close to the players and staff.
I love the attention to detail that LVG has with this tour, I'm all for making the smallest of adjustments to help us in the long run, however when everything has been confirmed and tickets go on sale, that should the it. No changing, this is a terrible decision by the club and it's embarressing, lots of people are going to lose out on flights and hotels.

For the first time in 15 years Paddy won't be on the tour , apparently for budget reasons which seems pretty shocking.
