Manchester United is set to travel to Edinburgh on Wednesday for their second pre-season friendly of the summer. They will face French powerhouse Lyon at Murrayfield Stadium. In their opening matches of the exhibition period, both teams secured victories. Manchester United defeated Leeds United with a 2-0 scoreline, while Lyon managed to edge past Dutch team De Treffers.
With several international players from Manchester United recovering from their recent tournaments, Ten Hag’s team is preparing for their only friendly match on British soil before their trip to the United States. They will face Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund in the US. Lens and Athletic Bilbao will also test the strength of Manchester United before the start of the new Premier League season.
Lyon recently faced an amateur team called De Treffers and managed to secure a 2-1 victory thanks to a late Jeff Reine-Adelaide penalty, after Tino Kadewere had initially equalized Coen Maertzdorf’s opener. Blanc’s side will face further challenges in their friendly matches. They will take on Molenbeek, Celta Vigo, and Crystal Palace after hosting Manchester United, who previously eliminated Lyon with a 2-1 aggregate scoreline in the 2007-08 Champions League on their path to European glory.
Manchester United probable starting lineup: Bishop, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Fernandes, Mount, Hannibal, Mainoo, Sancho, Hugill, Diallo
