Manchester United get the ball rolling on their six-match pre-season campaign this weekend as they face Championship side Wrexham at Helsingin Olympiastadion in Helsinki, Finland.
Phil Parkinson’s side began its summer schedule with a scoreless draw against Wisła Kraków in Poland last weekend and will hope to produce another solid defensive performance in Helsinki. At this stage of the summer, the primary focus will be on match sharpness and fitness, although Parkinson will still demand a strong performance from his side.
It will be the first match of Manchester United’s preseason schedule, with Michael Carrick also expected to experiment with his squad and give several players a runout. Summer signings Andrey Santos and Karl Darlow could feature, while Youri Tielemans has been granted an extended break following his participation in the World Cup.
Wrexham will face four Premier League opponents in their remaining summer friendlies and will hope to gauge the level they need to reach as they push for promotion from the Championship this season.
