Manchester United play their final preseason game ahead of the start of the 2025-26 Premier League on Saturday when they host Serie A side Fiorentina at Old Trafford.
After an encouraging display in United States against Premier League opposition, Old Trafford will be expecting to see much better than they have so far from their team under Ruben Amorim.
The United boss faces a few selection decisions to make for this final friendly: Mason Mount has impressed, but how Amorim fits him into the team alongside the always impressive Bruno Fernandes and big summer signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo will be interesting.
Another area to keep an eye on is centre-forward. ESPN have reported that United are open to offer for Rasmus Hojlund, while the club continues to chase the signing of Benjamin Sekso.
Fiorentina's arrival sees goalkeeper David de Gea's return to his old stomping ground. The Italian side come into this game having won two of their four friendlies this summer. The United game will be their final preseason game, too.
Here is everything you need to know about Saturday's match.
How to watch:
The match will be available on Manchester United's in-house channel, MUTV. You can also follow ESPN's live updates.

Date: Saturday, Aug. 9 at 12:45 p.m. BST (7.45 a.m. ET; 5:15 p.m. IST and 9:45 p.m. AEST)
