Manchester United are flying out to Skopje, Macedonia this morning (Monday) ahead of the first competitive match of 2017/18, the UEFA Super Cup clash with Real Madrid.
The annual clash between the winners of the Europa League and Champions League pits Jose Mourinho’s men against Zinedine Zidane’s side at the 33,460-capacity Philip II Arena. The United manager will hold a press conference upon arrival in Macedonia, before his squad train on the pitch.
Nemanja Matic is in contention to be involved in Tuesday’s showpiece after impressing in his first outing of pre-season, a 45-minute appearance in last week’s friendly win over Sampdoria in Dublin, while fellow summer signings Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku could also make their competitive debuts.
