Manchester United have finished fifth in the Premier League last season and also made changes in front office, appointing Jose Mourinho as their manager. The Red Devils have played two pre-season sparrings this summer, beating Wigan, 2-0 and suffering humiliating defeat against Borussia Dortmund, 1-4. We should note that the Portuguese coach couldn’t count on all his best players in these matches too.
Head-to-heads between two Manchester teams and clash of Jose Guardiola with Jose Mourinho are always quite intense and may go in different ways. However, it’s still a pre-season and we can expect the opponents to stay focused on preparing their own team to new Premier League marathon rather than chasing victory at any cost.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
