Manchester United will put the finishing touches to their pre-season preparations when they face Basque outfit Athletic Bilbao at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin this afternoon, on joyloaded live stream.
United, who are scheduled to get their 2023/24 Premier League campaign up and running at home to Wolves next Monday evening, are expected to field a much-changed team this afternoon following yesterday’s triumph over RC Lens at Old Trafford. The Reds recovered from a goal down at half-time to win 3-1.
Manager Erik ten Hag fielded a starting line-up yesterday that resembled something close to what is expected to start against Wolves, meaning the XI that starts in Dublin this afternoon is poised to have a much-changed look to it. The likes of Tom Heaton, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Christian Eriksen are among those in with a chance of starting.
This afternoon’s tussle marks United’s eighth and final friendly of the summer, four of which they have won so far. They will be hoping to add another win to their tally and head into their season curtain-raiser with a spring in their step.
