Manchester United has announced their global partner Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., through its Snapdragon brand of processors, as the presenting partner of its 2023 pre-season tour of the USA.

The team will travel to the United States in July, playing a series of pre-season matches across the West and East coasts of America, preparing Erik ten Hag’s first team for the 2023/24 season.

The four-match schedule includes a game against Wrexham AFC at Snapdragon Stadium, San Diego, where the club will field a youth focused side, giving fans the chance to see some of United’s famed academy’s up and coming players.

This will be United’s first visit to the US in five years, and throughout the entirety of the Tour, Snapdragon will offer access to exclusive pre-season content and prizes to its Snapdragon Insider community, which will build as the team moves from city to city.

To unlock this access, Snapdragon encourages each Manchester United fan to become a Snapdragon Insider by following @Snapdragon on Twitter, TikTok or Facebook, or @SnapdragonOfficial on Instagram.

As presenting Tour partner, Snapdragon will bring enhanced pre-season experiences to the Club's global fan base.
