on 19July vs Club America? Never been to a live soccer match so I'm intrigued. Don't know who Club America is, though.

Club América, is a professional soccer club based in Mexico City, Mexico. It competes in Liga MX, the top professional league in the country, and is the most successful club in Mexican soccer. América also has ten FIFA recognized club trophies – the most for a club from the CONCACAF region. In total, the Club has won 32 trophies, including 12 League Titles, 5 Cup Wins, and 7 Concacaf Champions Leagues.


“The opportunity to play a top European club like Manchester United this summer is something we just couldn’t pass up. It will be a great experience-builder for our players as they’ll compete at the highest possible level, while also giving our fans a chance to enjoy a match against one of the World’s top clubs,” said Mauricio Culebro, Club America’s President. “Playing in Arizona is also an opportunity for us to show commitment we have to giving our fans in the US first level experiences as we continue to bring our brand stateside.”
Club América has 15 internationally-capped players in its roster including Oribe Peralta, Paul Aguilar and Edson Álvarez who have played with the Mexican National team, Joe Corona (USMNT), Agustín Marchesín and Guido Rodríguez (Argentina), and Matheus Uribe (Colombia) among others.

I would go if you have the chance. it won't be the same as going to old trafford or perhaps a liga MX atmosphere, but at the same time it is always interesting when foreign clubs play one another.
