As the 2024–25 football season approaches, both Manchester United and Chelsea are gearing up with significant changes and challenges. Manchester United has started its pre-season tour with mixed results, suffering a defeat to Rosenborg but recovering with a win against Rangers, while also making key signings, including Leny Yoro. Chelsea, under new manager Sonia Bompastor, will begin their Women’s Super League campaign against Aston Villa, aiming to defend their title after a successful previous season. The opening weekend of the WSL also features Manchester City facing Arsenal, where new signing Vivianne Miedema will play against her former team. Both clubs are among those participating in pre-season tours, with various fixtures scheduled across different countries, highlighting their preparations for the upcoming competitive season. These pre-season matches serve as critical opportunities for teams to refine tactics and integrate new players before the official start of the leagues.
