The United States has been the home of box office football this summer, with some of Europe’s biggest clubs currently competing across the Atlantic as we inch ever closer towards the 2023/24 season, not least Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Juventus, Chelsea and Manchester United.
For Erik ten Hag, this will be his fifth pre-season game of the summer already as he prepares his side for a campaign back in the Champions League. Wins over Leeds United and Lyon in Europe preceded the weekend’s intense battle with Premier League rivals Arsenal, which they won 2-0.
Real Madrid meanwhile only contested in their first summer friendly on Sunday, beating Milan 3-2 in an epic battle in Los Angeles. Jude Bellingham was given his unofficial debut and he impressed for Carlo Ancelotti — and he will be hoping to follow up in midweek against the Red Devils.
Real Madrid vs Man Utd match stats
Vinicius Junior will fancy his chances of getting on the scoresheet this week, given his formidable scoring record against English/British clubs. In matches against Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City, the Brazilian sensation has bagged seven goals, all of which have come in the Champions League. Throw Celtic into the mix, and it’s nine goals against British clubs. He also bagged against Milan in Real’s 3-2 win over the weekend, so his boots are warm.
Overall, this is a fixture that Real have tended to dominate. From Ronaldo Nazario’s hat-trick and Real’s 6-5 aggregate win in 2003, to Zinedine Zidane’s Super Cup triumph over Jose Mourinho in 2017, the Spanish giants have a strong record. In fact, in 11 meetings, Man Utd have only twice defeated Real.
