The 2024–25 season is the 138th in the history of Manchester United, their 33rd season in the Premier League and their 50th consecutive and 100th overall season in the top flight of English football. The club are participating in the Premier League, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, the UEFA Europa League and the Community Shield. This season is the first since 2014–15 without Anthony Martial, who left the club after his contact expired. This season is also the first full season since 2004–05 in which the Glazer family no longer controls the footballing side of the club, having sold 27.7% of the club to Sir Jim Ratcliffe in February 2024.[1]
On 4 July 2024, after the club won the FA Cup the previous season, Manchester United announced the renewal of manager Erik ten Hag's contract until the 2025–26 season,[2] ending speculation that he would be sacked after his side recorded an eighth-place finish, their worst in the Premier League era.
On 23 February 2024, United announced a tour of the United States, with friendly matches against rivals Arsenal and Liverpool at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on 27 July and at Williams–Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina on 3 August, respectively.[3] In March, they announced another game in the United States – against Real Betis on 31 July at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, a venue with which the club shares a sponsor.[4] Ten days later Manchester United announced they would play Rangers for the first time in a decade at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on 20 July.[5] The first match of their pre-season tour was announced on 5 April; they faced Norwegian side Rosenborg at Lerkendal Stadion in Trondheim on 15 July.[6]

See main article: 2024 FA Community Shield. As a result of winning the 2023–24 FA Cup, Manchester United faced Manchester City, who won the 2023–24 Premier League, in what was United's 31st Community Shield appearance, and their first since 2016.[7] After United took the lead late in the second-half through Alejandro Garnacho, City equalised through Bernardo Silva in the 88th minute, taking the game to penalties. André Onana saved City's first penalty from Silva, but Jadon Sancho's miss with United's fourth kick meant the shoot-out went to sudden death; Jonny Evans put United's eighth penalty over the bar, allowing Manuel Akanji to give City a 7–6 victory.[8]
