Manchester United vs Real Madrid LIVE!
The two biggest clubs in the world face off tonight in Houston in a party for fans across the United States. It’s Erik ten Hag’s second pre-season friendly in as many days, although Wednesday’s 3-1 defeat at Wrexham in San Diego was largely contested by the Under-21s.
Tonight is a completely different matter, as United and Madrid face more than 72,000 fans in Texas, who will be treated to goalkeeper Andre Onana’s new £47million debut between the sticks. Good news also for Amad Diallo, who was on crutches over the weekend but will make his selection tonight.
Teenager Kobbie Mainoo gets the credit in midfield. Raphael Varane and Casemiro will of course face their former club, while Jude Bellingham will make his second Real Madrid appearance since signing a deal worth up to £115m.
