15.07.2022 - 13:03 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erik ten Hag has confirmed he will change the majority of his Manchester United side at half-time of their second pre-season match against Melbourne Victory.
United have named three changes from the side that defeated Liverpool 4-0 in their opening match, with Tom Heaton replacing David de Gea in goal, Harry Maguire coming in for Raphael Varane and Anthony Elanga starting in place of Marcus Rashford in attack.
Ten Hag's side led 3-0 at the break of that match before changing all of their outfield players during the half-time break, while there was also a change in goal during the second-half after a slight knock to De Gea.

United will be hoping for another impressive win when they take to the field in Melbourne on Friday, and Ten Hag says he will use the opportunity to give minutes to as many players as possible.
"Liverpool is, of course, a name and a rival. This is different," he told MUTV. "I know the Aussies, they are tough, so we have to be good, put in a good performance and of course we want to set the next step.
"The opponent will be different, we don't know them, they will be compact and we are looking forward, and in these circumstances we need to take the next step."
When asked if he would make as many substitutions as he did in the Liverpool match, the United manager replied: "Yeah, it will be the same.
"To build the fitness levels, to get the right numbers in. We want to keep everyone fit but also we want to build those fitness levels for matches."
