Manchester United are having an impressive start to the new 2025-2026 season.
Since the surprise stumble with a 0-1 defeat to ASEAN All Stars at the end of May, coach Ruben Amorim's team has gone through 5 more friendly matches without losing any match (3 wins, 2 draws).
With a recent 2-2 draw against Everton, the "Red Devils" have won the Premier League Summer Series 2025 held in the US.
However, it is necessary to frankly admit that this title is not too prestigious, when Man United only has to face mid-range opponents such as Everton, Bournemouth or West Ham.
The upcoming encounter with Fiorentina promises to be a more difficult test. This is also an opportunity to prove the value of famous rookies such as Bryan Mbeumo or Matheus Cunha.
After finishing 15th in the Premier League in the 2024-2025 season, M.U is making strong efforts in the process of changing the squad to aim for a more positive result.
Not only recruiting Mbeumo and Cunha, they are also about to complete the contract with striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. In addition, Man United is also interested in Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba.
On the other side of the front line, Fiorentina are maintaining impressive form with 4 wins in the last 6 matches. Last season, Fiorentina were in the top 6 of Serie A. This is their highest finish since the 2015-2016 season in the tournament.
Similar to Man United, Fiorentina has also actively increased its force by bringing in quality new players such as Simon Sohm, Nicolo Fagioli and Edin Dzeko.
The appearance of Dzeko and goalkeeper David De Gea, who has been a goalkeeper for Man United for many years, has brought the Italian team a pair of experienced veterans. This will be a reliable support for Fiorentina to aim for at least a draw, even if they have to visit Old Trafford.
