Manchester United will send out a young team to play Wrexham in tonight’s pre-season friendly.
With Erik ten Hag set to oversee his first team in a clash against Real Madrid less than 24 hours after this game in San Diego, the Red Devils academy prospects are hoping to impress in their own runout.
Exactly who will be in the matchday squad at Snapdragon Stadium has not been confirmed by the club, with the seniors popping up in nearby Los Angeles over the weekend before their game in Houston, Texas.
United are expected to play a similar crop of players to those which featured in the friendly wins over Leeds and Lyon earlier in pre-season.
Charlie McNeill has reportedly joined the squad having missed those games while looking for a loan club for the new season.
Kobbie Mainoo started in the seniors’ win over Arsenal and appears to have graduated out of the academy line-up, while Ten Hag called up youngsters including Dan Gore, Hannibal Mejbri and Nathan Bishop for that game but left them on the bench.
Amad Diallo picked up an injury and is set to be unavailable.
United veteran Jonny Evans is set to be involved after signing a short-term deal to find fitness after leaving Leicester.
Predicted Man Utd XI: Bishop; Jurado, Evans, Fish, Fernandez; Gore, Hannibal; Forson, Shoretire, Hansen-Aaroen; Hugill
Doubts: Amad
Injured: None
Time and date: 3.30am BST, Thursday July 27, 2023
Venue: Snapdragon Stadium, San Diego
