Manchester United are certainly being put through their paces this weekend with two games in two days, and the last of those comes against Spanish side Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford on Sunday, in preparation for next week’s Premier League opener.
The Red Devils have already enjoyed six warm-up fixtures this summer, including yesterday’s clash with Atletico Madrid in Norway, of which they quickly travelled back from ahead of Erik ten Hag’s first home game.
And looking to spoil his party is Rayo Vallecano, who finished 12th in La Liga last season and reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, while they have already faced English opposition twice this summer in the form of Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City.
