Manchester United play Fiorentina this afternoon in their final pre-season friendly match of the summer. The Red Devils have been in fine form during their recent Premier League Summer Series tour in the United States. Following a 2-1 victory over West Ham, a resounding 4-1 triumph against Bournemouth and a 2-2 draw with Everton, morale is high within the United squad. Manager Ruben Amorim will now have a vital opportunity to experiment with his starting line-up ahead of their Premier League opener against Arsenal, as his team returns to action on home turf.
