Manchester United are set to begin their tour of the US with a friendly against Arsenal in New York on Saturday.
This will be their third match of the summer, having already beaten Leeds and Lyon. United’s international stars who were given an extra break are set to take to the field for the first time.
There are set to be a number of changes to the line-up that was fielded against Lyon in Scotland on Wednesday. Andre Onana is joining up with his new teammates following his £47.7m move but is thought to be unlikely to feature against the Gunners.
Meanwhile, fans will get their first glimpse of the likes of Marcus Rashford, Casemiro and Alejandro Garnacho in United’s new kit. Bruno Fernandes is expected to lead the side out for the first time as permanent club captain, having taken the armband from Harry Maguire.
