Melbourne Victory vs Manchester United: Rummy Bo Preview, Predictions & Fantasy Team

Melbourne Victory vs Manchester United: Manchester United will face Melbourne Victory in their second pre-season match at the Melbourne Victory Ground on Friday.

The Red Devils had a winning start under the stewardship of new manager Erik ten Hag as they defeated Liverpool 4-0 in Bangkok to kickoff their pre-season in a thunderous style.

Jadon Sancho, Anthony Martial, Fred and Facundo Pellistri registered their names on the scoresheet as United made their intenyions knows with some very crisp passing and attacking football.

The English Premier League outfit have been locked in a transfer battle for Lisandro Martinez and Frenkie de Jong as the both the players are believed to be attracting strong interest from the new manager.

Tyrell Malacia appeared from the bench as United’s only summer signing had a few good minutes under his belt and he could make his full debut in Melbourne.

The likes of Zidane Iqbal and Charlie Savage impressed in the first match and they might get some more minutes as ten Hag has already reiterated he is eyeing to have a big squad at his disposal for the next season.

United’s main aim would be to come unscratched prior to the new season as the Red Devils will be eyeing some major trophies this time.

Melbourne Victory will have their hands full when they host the mighty Red Devils at their porch. The A-League side will likely to take a different approach from Liverpool as United are unlikely to get acre of spaces in the attacking third.

Melbourne Victory finished runners up in the last season and they will pose a tricky test to the 20 times English champions. The Australian side recently roped in former United winger Nani and the Portuguese might be available for Friday.

They also have Roderick Miranda in their ranks who has the experience of English football with Wolves. The cold climate might make it soothing for the visitors who had their task cut out in the hot and humid Bangkok weather.
