Manchester United have flown to the United States to begin their Premier League Summer Series campaign, but one notable name is missing from the travelling squad, Harry Maguire. The England international has not joined his teammates on the flight to Chicago due to a "personal matter", per multiple reports.

Two marquee signings, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, are part of the travelling contingent. Mbeumo was officially unveiled just a day before the flight after his high-profile £71 million ($96m) switch from Brentford. Cunha, who joined United from Wolverhampton Wanderers last month in a £62.5m ($84m) deal, is also present despite recently welcoming his second child.

Lisandro Martinez has been included in the list of players headed to the United States; however, fans shouldn’t expect to see him in action anytime soon. The Argentine defender is still recovering from injury and is not yet fit to train fully or participate in match action as he continues rehabilitation.
