Big names in European football are currently training and playing friendlies in the US, including Arsenal and Manchester United. The two teams will play a friendly match at 7:00 a.m. on July 28 (Vietnam time).
Up to this point, Arsenal has only played one friendly match - winning 5-4 against Bournemouth in a penalty shootout after drawing 1-1 in the official 90 minutes. This match also took place in America.
Coach Mikel Arteta does not have the strongest squad yet, but compared to Man United, the result of the first match in nearly 2 months is more likely than Man United.
For Man United, before winning 2-0 at Rangers Stadium on July 20, they lost 0-1 at Rosenborg Stadium on July 15. At this time, of course the "Red Devils" had a better rhythm, in which 18-year-old rookie Leny Yoro performed well in the match in Scotland.
Regarding personnel, players like Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka, Raya and William Saliba cannot return to the Arsenal squad because they are resting after participating in EURO 2024.
Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu were ruled out of the touring squad due to injury, but Martin Odegaard, Ben White, Gabriel Jesus, Jorginho, Jurrien Timber, Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko could all be selected.
Karl Hein is likely to continue to be selected as goalkeeper, while Emile Smith Rowe is likely to be left out as the midfielder could leave the club this summer.
On the Man United side , Yoro can continue to start with Jonny Evans in defense, while Christian Eriksen, Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay have all gathered with the team in the US.
Altay Bayindir, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez, Facundo Pellistri and Luke Shaw are still out, Tyrell Malacia is injured.
Expected lineup
Arsenal : Hein; White, Timber, Kiwior, Zinchenko; Partey, Jorginho, Odegaard; Viera, Jesus, Trossard.
