Manchester United fans are delighted Erik ten Hag has named academy star Dan Gore as captain in the club's pre-season friendly against Wrexham, while supporters believe the omission of Kobbie Mainoo means he could play a key role against Real Madrid on Thursday.
United have won all three of their friendlies so far this summer having swept aside Leeds United and Lyon before Saturday's 2-0 win over Arsenal in New York as the tour of the US got underway. Gore assisted Donny van de Beek's winner against Lyon after featuring in the second half against Leeds.
Erik ten Hag is fielding a youthful side against returning EFL club Wrexham. However, having performed brilliantly in all his summer outings so far, Mainoo remains with the senior squad for a game against Madrid in 24 hours.
Bumping up the average age of the XI against Wrexham is Jonny Evans, who has signed on a short-term deal for pre-season as he looks for a permanent new club following his release from Leicester. The 35-year-old academy graduate starts at centre-half in San Diego, alongside Will Fish who is set to return to Hibernian on loan on Saturday.
