The MLS, now in its 20th year, has experienced a considerable growth in popularity over the last few seasons due to the success of the #American national teams and an improved TV deal with worldwide broadcasters.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber believes popularity in football also grows in the States when the likes of #ManchesterUnited, #Chelsea and #Liverpool cross the Atlantic for pre-season tours.
Over the last two years all three clubs have participated in the #International Champions Cup – an annual friendly tournament sponsored by Guinness – but Garber is hoping to create a more formal competition in which the most successful #English teams compete.
