Man United ‘agree secret friendly’ with Sir Jim Ratcliffe-owned club

Manchester United will reportedly play Swiss club Lausanne-Sport in a behind-closed-doors friendly during the international break. The match provides manager Michael Carrick an opportunity to adjust his squad after a difficult start to the 2026/27 campaign. Both clubs are owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, though the exact date, venue, and kick-off time for the fixture have not been confirmed.

Manchester United currently sit 12th in the Premier League following a recent draw with Fulham, matching their joint-worst campaign start. Lausanne-Sport are currently at the bottom of the Swiss Super League table after losing five of their opening nine matches. United's next competitive fixture is scheduled against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on October 10.
