Man Utd stars pose for photos with fans as they land in US for pre-season tour

Manchester United's squad have arrived in New York for their pre-season tour of the US.

The Red Devils picked up a 1-0 friendly win against Lyon in Edinburgh on Wednesday, as forgotten man Donny van de Beek secured victory with a well-taken second-half volley.

The players then headed straight to Edinburgh to catch a flight over to the US where they are set to play four pre-season games before the end of the month.

While they waited for take-off from the Scottish capital, stars such as Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez all posed for group photos on the plane.

The trio could all be in contention to replace Harry Maguire as United's long-term captain after the England international confirmed he no longer has the armband in a social media post on Sunday.

Despite uncertainty surrounding his future, Maguire appeared in good spirits as he boarded the plane with international team-mate Mason Mount, who later posed for a photo with goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

Henderson is another player linked with a move away this summer, with Nottingham Forest keen on re-signing him.

Exciting prospects Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo were also pictured getting on the flight, with the youngsters aiming to prove they can be a part of Erik ten Hag's first team plans for the coming season.

Hours later, the United squad landed in the US and were greeted by eager fans waiting to meet their heroes.

Fernandes, Antony and Christian Eriksen all stopped to greet fans and pose for photos with them as they made their way through the airport.

The squad could soon be joined by another player, with Andre Onana closing in on completing his £43m switch from Inter Milan.

United have a quick turnaround after arriving in the US as they are set to face Premier League rivals Arsenal on Saturday.

They then play Wrexham, the League Two club owned by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, before finishing their tour with tricky tests against Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

Ten Hag's men will then return to the UK for friendlies against Lens and Athletic Bilbao before getting their league campaign underway when they host Wolves on August 14.
