Live updates from Man United's pre-season friendly against Arsenal at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund is poised to make his first appearance of pre-season after being included in the starting line-up to face Arsenal at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.is also set to make his first appearance of pre-season after sitting out the first two games. He has been named in the heart of the back-four alongside Leny Yoro.
Sam Murray has started the opening two friendlies but Harry Amass has been given the nod this evening. He trained with the first-team squad towards the end of last season and made the bench a few times. Many consider it as a glorified pre-season friendly, marking the final outing ahead of the new Premier League season, but it is a competitive fixture with a trophy up for grabs at the end of it.
Onto the game and Erik ten Hag tends to use friendlies as building blocks for the first game of the season. Players who start today will be selected with the Community Shield or the Fulham game in mind and some of them have got ample opportunities to play their way into the team. Alejandro Garnacho ended last season as United's chief right-winger, swapping from the left midway through the campaign. He is capable of playing on both sides, meaning Marcus Rashford will be feeling the pressure of the Argentine.
United have added two new faces to their ranks to far this summer, drafting in Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna and Leny Yoro from Lille."We already had a very good two buys. So when everyone is fit we have a team who can beat everyone but the squad depth we have to catch up because we had injuries. We are vulnerable and we have to avoid this by getting less injuries and second, our squad has to be that good.
The Reds were beaten 1-0 by Rosenborg before beating Rangers 2-0 five days later. Amad and Joe Hugill were on target in the Scottish capital.Unfortunately for manager Erik ten Hag, he was unable to take a crop of star players with him due to them appearing at either the European Championship or the Copa America earlier this summer. Those who participated in either tournament are entitled to three weeks off.
