Then on Thursday morning, Eddie Howe's players got down to work ahead of the Premier League Summer Series, with United taking on Aston Villa at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday in their first of three matches in the USA.

Newcastle will also face Chelsea at the magnificent Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Wednesday 26th July, then round the trip off with a match against Brighton at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey on Friday, 28th July. All three matches will be broadcast free on NUFC TV in all territories except for UK and Ireland and the USA. Viewers in those countries can watch the games on Sky Sports or NBC Sports respectively.

Upon their return from the Premier League Summer Series, the Magpies will round off their friendly fixtures with home games against Fiorentina and Villarreal on consecutive days on the first weekend of August in the Sela Cup, presented by VisitMalta - tickets are on sale here.

United trained in hot and humid conditions at the impressive Pace Academy on their first full day in Atlanta, and club photographer Serena Taylor brought nufc.co.uk this gallery.
