The 12:45 BST kick-off at Old Trafford will be live on MUTV and a crowd of around 55,000 supporters will be in attendance: the largest we’ve had since the Manchester derby on 8 March 2020.
This match against Premier League opposition will provide an excellent workout for the United squad and particularly those players who have only returned to training this week, which includes the likes of David De Gea, Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial and more.
Our training camps in Surrey and Scotland have been excellent, but there is nothing like the intensity of matchday and the Reds have benefited from three games so far: against Derby County, Queens Park Rangers and Brentford.
