Going into the 2024/25 season, Manchester United have officially announced a new way of getting in on the action throughout the Premier League campaign.
The start of the new season will see the official launch of Player Trading Cards, a new digital collectible series featuring the Manchester United men’s first team. Each member of the men’s squad has a completely hand-drawn card which has been digitalised. Each player’s card comes in three different rarities; Classic, Rare and Ultra-Rare.
The cards include live player-specific stats that will be dynamically updated throughout the season. Each player’s performance will be used to update the stats from all of the Red Devils’ matches in all competitions, including the Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League, with the digital card stats matching the real-life performances on the pitch. Player Trading Card packs will be available soon, with a pre-release being made available to fans who own cards in the Devils series. Devils, the original digital collection from Manchester United, was launched in 2022 with 7,777 unique characters spanning United’s incredible history.
But this isn’t just a collectible series, the cards will also be your entry into a brand new, United-specific fantasy football. The game will see fans select five players from their collection to make up a Fantasy United squad. As with Fantasy Football, fans will select their team before each men’s first-team match, with each player scoring points based on the on pitch performance which contributes to your squad’s overall score. Points will be scored for events such as goals, assists, tackles, fouls and many more.
The game will officially launch ready for United’s opening Premier League fixture at Old Trafford to Fulham, with ore information about the launch and how to play coming before then.
