Manchester United is one of the most well-supported football clubs in the world.
No other football team in this country benefits from such a worldwide following and this was made clear during their tour of Australia in 2022. For their 2023 pre-season trip, Erik ten Hag's side will visit the USA as they prepare for another season in the Premier League.
While fixtures have not yet been announced for the tour, it may be an opportunity for some of the Reds' celebrity fans to watch their team in action stateside. With that in mind, MEN Sport has taken a look at five American celebrities who are supporters of United.

After Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's revelations in midweek, it seems only right to start with the actor who is best known for her roles in Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich. Roberts visited Manchester back in 2016 and chose to be given a guided tour at Old Trafford rather than visiting the Etihad Stadium.
It was unclear until Tuesday night how irked by this Guardiola was but his comments appear to show that this got to him. He explained: "Whatever happens in the Champions League this year, winning, even if we win this Champions League, three in a row I'll be a failure.
"I have three idols in my life: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Julia Roberts. These are my three idols.
"For obvious reasons, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods and Julia Roberts as well. Julia Roberts came to Manchester, not in the 80s and 90s when [United] were with Sir Alex Ferguson winning titles after titles.
"She came during the period we were better than United over the last four or five years. She went to visit Man United, she didn't come to see us, so that's why even if I win the

Brent Lang Executive Editor It’s-a blockbuster! “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” continued to rack up high scores at the box office as it heads into Easter weekend. The animated movie, a collaboration between Illumination, Nintendo and Universal, shows no signs of slowing down, earning a massive $26.5 million on Thursday. That brings its domestic haul to $58.2 million. At this rate, the mustachioed plumber should end his first five days on the big screen with more than $150 million in stateside winnings. Internationally, the movie has earned $62.5 million, pushing global ticket sales to $120.7 million. The week’s other major new release, Amazon Studios’s “Air,” a footwear tale detailing how Nike convinced Michael Jordan to become its most successful brand ambassador, earned $2.4 million on Thursday.

Illumination/Nintendo/Universal’s Super Mario Bros Movie doesn’t need a mushroom to get bigger, it just organically is. Out of the gate today Wednesday, sans any Tuesday previews, the feature take of the classic game is looking at $26M, for what’s translating into a $86.2M 3-day, $127.5M Wednesday through Sunday haul. Interesting, even though its opening day was a Friday, Paramount/Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 had a $26.3M first day a year ago (that included Thursday previews). That film currently holds the 3-day record for a videogame feature adaptation with $72.1M, a benchmark which Super Mario Bros looks to squash.
The man, the myth, the legend. Michael Jordan rose to stardom for his time with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards — which was only the beginning of his professional career.
Erik ten Hag will be looking to avoid setting a new Manchester United record against Brentford on Wednesday with the club winless in their last three league games.
Air, the about Nike's signing of rookie Michael Jordan in 1984, take place in a dimly lit office, without other people present, and over the phone. And yet, in a film that includes heavyweights Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Viola Davis, Jason Bateman, and Chris Tucker, Messina stands out.
