The majority of teams are due to return to training in July before playing some pre-season friendlies. Manchester United, Everton, Bournemouth and West Ham will travel to the US for the Premier League Summer Series.
Arsenal will be in action in Singapore and Hong Kong, while Chelsea have just two pre-season games scheduled due to involvement at the Club World Cup. City have not announced any pre-season matches, with Pep Guardiola's side hoping to retain the Club World Cup.

Man Utd held private talks with rivals over intriguing Marcus Rashford swap move
Manchester United star Marcus Rashford was loaned to Aston Villa in the January transfer window and his move could've resulted in another player heading in the opposite direction Manchester United held talks with Aston Villa over a potential swap deal for Ollie Watkins as Marcus Rashford came to the end of his loan spell. Rashford, 27, spent the second half of last season at Villa Park, having fallen out on favour under Ruben Amorim. The loan deal included an option for Villa to sign the United forward for £40million but it could've been very different had the swap with Watkins came to fruition. The 29-year-old was reportedly available for transfer in January, even being offered to Arsenal. According to the Athletic, United held discussions with Villa about signing Watkins at the end of the season. The Red Devils have now made a fresh enquiry separate to Rashford, who Villa won't be signing permanently. Amorim wants to sign a new striker and Watkins has emerged a target, with Rashford having returned to Old Trafford but appearing to have no future at United. Villa, meanwhile, are currently grappling with Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules and it's claimed that they need to make one lucrative sale in order to avoid punishment. It's been speculated that Villa Park chiefs could follow Chelsea's example and sell their women's team in what would be a controversial move. Selling Watkins would also cause outcry, with Villa already letting one striker leave in the January transfer window before narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification. Unai Emery's side sanctioned the departure of Jhon Duran to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr for a cool £65million. Duran's departure didn't mean that Watkins was always first-choice for Emery, though. Rashford started both of Villa's Champions League quarter-final clashes with Paris Saint-Germain, leaving Watkins 'fuming'. "I played 20 minutes against PSG in both games, so I'm not going to lie - I was fuming I wasn't playing," he told Sky Sports. "I let him (Emery) know that. He's the manager at the end of the day. I respect his decision. But I'm not one of the players happy to sit on the bench. Should Aston Villa have swapped Ollie Watkins for Marcus Rashford? Have your say in the comments section. "It's something I haven't experienced before, missing out on the biggest stage. You always want to play, especially in the Champions League. Me and a few others are disappointed we didn't start the game, but like I said, it's the manager's decision... Rather than let it hinder you, you have to use that anger as motivation." The England international would almost certainly start most games for the Red Devils, as he's significantly more Premier League-proven compared to United strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. Last season, Watkins bagged 17 goals and laid on 14 assists. Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.

Gonzalo García downs Juventus to send Real Madrid to Club World Cup quarters
Kylian Mbappé at last made his debut at this Club World Cup as the competition enters the knockout phase, coming on to face Juventus two weeks and four games after he was hospitalised with a stomach virus that saw him lose five kilos. But while the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami chanted the Frenchman's name, roaring as he made his way to the halfway line, and stood to hand him an ovation when he entered the fray, the excitement overflowing, it was the kid heading in the other direction for whom Rita Hayworth is family but most of them had not heard of a month ago, who had taken Real Madrid into the quarter-final. For all the focus on the most famous names, for all that this month, this experimental event, needs them, every tournament has its revelation: this World Cup has a 21-year-old madrileño. 'I knew this competition was the opportunity of my life,' Gonzalo García said after he again showed that it is one he is determined, and equipped, to take hold of. The Real Madrid academy striker, who had never started a game before arriving in the United States, scored his third goal here with a superb thumping header from a delicious Trent Alexander-Arnold delivery, doing what no one else could over 90 minutes here: beating the Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio. A family of rugby players, bullfighters, and perhaps the most famous actor there ever was – García's grandfather was Heyworth's cousin – has a footballer too, and he looks like being some player. Good enough, says the Spain Under-17s coach, Hernán Pérez, to be Madrid's striker for a decade to come. With the permission of Mbappé, of course. Xabi Alonso likes him, that's for sure, even if he admitted that he never expected three goals from him, and García has been superb stateside. On a wet but mercifully lightning-free afternoon in Miami where a Madrid team that are progressing well kept hitting a wall, he was decisive once more, setting up a meeting with Borussia Dortmund – hi Jude, hi Jobe – or Monterrey – hi, Sergio Ramos – in the next round. In the end, Madrid deserved it, far the better side, Alonso praising his team's ability to understand 'when to speed up, when to slow down, how to control the game'. That said, it did take a while to gain control and the early moments of illumination came mostly from another kid, Juventus's Kenan Yildiz, who combined often with Andrea Cambiaso and Randal Kolo Muani. The 20-year-old – left footed, small, socks half down, backside low – has been described by Kolo Muani as 'magic' and there were moments he left his mark here. He played a key part in what might have been the opener after six minutes, combining with Kolo Muani on a move that began way back by the Juventus penalty area and reached Madrid's. There, alone before Thibaut Courtois, Kolo Muani scooped over him but fractionally over the bar too. Next a neat turn saw Yildiz's shot deflected wide, there was the time he slipped the ball between Alexander-Arnold's legs, and smart footwork later took him away from the former Liverpool defender and Antonio Rüdiger for Cambiaso to cross. From another Cambiaso delivery, Francisco Conceição headed Juve's second chance at Courtois. Madrid, playing with three central defenders, had control if not a huge amount of incision in those early phases. As the half went on though, openings appeared and increasingly often. In the middle of it all, Fede Valverde, as ever, was everywhere firing off shots. By the time he was withdrawn, exhausted, to applause in the 89th minute, the Uruguayan had racked up seven. 'He makes life easier,' Alonso said. From one of them in the first half, Di Gregorio dived full length to save and the keeper would have a busy afternoon, sticking out a leg when Valverde got deep into the area and pulled back soon after. Next Arda Guler, growing into this in the playmaker role that looks increasingly like becoming his permanent place, lifted over his marker and almost got the ball across. Just before the break, Alexander-Arnold did, but his delivery raced right though the six-yard box. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion The second half began with Jude Bellingham setting up Valverde's volley, which skidded and spun just wide. And although Antonio Rüdiger and Courtois kicked each other as they swiped at a clearance, Alonso's side got on top, soon dominating entirely. Trent fired over, Manuel Locatelli blocked Vinícius Júnior, and Bellingham and Dean Huijsen drew saves from Di Gregorio. Then the goal came, Alexander-Arnold's lovely soft-shoed cross meeting García's leap. Turning his neck, he thudded past Di Gregorio who could not fling up his arms fast enough. Madrid kept coming but the Italian pushed away Valverde's overhead kick and stuck out a leg to stop Guler's shot after Vinícius and Mbappé had opened up Juventus. When he reached Aurélien Tchouaméni's late low drive, it took him into double figures but there was no reward. The one time he was beaten was enough, Madrid's revelation there again.
