Thursday 27 July, 1:30
NRG Stadium
Real Madrid come into this game against United on the back of a 3-2 victory against a strong AC Milan side thanks to a brace from Federico Valverde and a goal from Vinicius Junior in the second half.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side managed to win the Copa del Ray for the twentieth time last term, reached the final of the Champions League and finished second in La Liga.
Jude Bellingham made his debut for the Spanish side against Milan, and his superb performance was on that certainly got the faithful excited and they will hope for more of the same against United on their next time out.
United have had a flawless start to pre-season after they are three games unbeaten whilst failing to concede a goal, but Madrid will certainly be their toughest test yet.
Summer signing Mason Mount was given a start against Arsenal in their impressive 2-0 victory against the Gunners, and the game against Madrid might be a chance for Erik ten Haag to see Andre Onana for the first time in United shirt.
The English midfielder and the highly rated shot stopper will hopefully be the right signings for United to kick on next term and build on Ten Haag’s impressive first season in charge last campaign.
