Manchester United will round off their warm weather training week in Spain this evening as they take on Real Betis in a friendly.
This will be United's second match of the week having lost on Wednesday night to Cadiz. Following the game, Erik ten Hag claimed that there were more negatives than positives to take from the 4-2 loss so changes are expected for this fixture.
Real Betis marks the last game before United's domestic season resumes over Christmas beginning with a Carabao Cup tie against Burnley at Old Trafford. For fringe members of the squad, today's friendly marks their last chance to stake their claim for a start versus the Championship side.

With that in mind, here is how United fans think the team should line-up today.
Goalkeeper - David de Gea
Having conceded four in midweek, Reds supporters are not willing to keep faith with Martin Dubravka this weekend. Having not featured since November, it is crucial for De Gea to get some minutes under his belt ahead of the resumption of the season.
Defenders - Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Teden Mengi, Victor Lindelof, Brandon Williams
Despite their futures at Old Trafford looking dim, both Wan-Bissaka and Williams have been given the nod by supporters to start again this evening. All eyes will be on Lindelof again to see if he can shine in the absence of Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire.
Mengi meanwhile made in a good account of himself against Cadiz and will be hopeful of following that up in Seville.
Midfielders - Donny van de Beek, Zidane Iqbal, Scott McTominay
Time appears to be getting away from Van de Beek at United and after another mediocre against Cadiz, Real Betis could be his last chance to impress his manager. Iqbal came away with credit after the defeat in midweek while McTominay is another player needing minutes following the unprecedented break.
Forwards - Shola Shoretire, Anthony Martial, Alejandro Garnacho
Further goals for Martial can only be deemed as a positive at this stage as he aims to return to full match sharpness. He netted a spot kick in midweek and will likely start today.
Garnacho is continuing to show his credentials as the future of United but supporters would like to see Anthony Elanga drop out this evening. In his place, they would choose Shoretire who has looked bright and more than merits a start.
