Manchester United face Atletico Madrid today
Manchester United will face Atletico Madrid today in their third pre-season friendly of the summer.
Michael Carrick's side picked up their first win of pre-season last week as they put Rosenborg to the sword in a thumping 5-0 win. That followed a drab 1-0 defeat to Wrexham in Helsinki, but today represents another step up as United face Atletico.
Carrick has named a slightly smaller squad this week, with 23 players travelling to Stockholm. JJ Gabriel is once again included and he will hope to make his first appearance for the senior side today.
Toby Collyer, Dan Gore, Jacob Devaney and Chido Obi drop have all dropped out of the squad from last week's win over Rosenborg. Amad and Altay Bayindir could be involved today after they returned to Carrington this week, but the game comes too soon for Senne Lammens and new signing Youri Tielemans.
