Manchester United will look to continue with their positive start to the pre-season as they take on Wrexham in California on Tuesday.

The Red Devils will take on Welsh side Wrexham on Tuesday night. However, Manchester United will be represented by academy graduates as the senior side is set to play against Real Madrid on Wednesday at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

Tuesday's match will allow a group of talented youngsters to earn some game time for the senior team. Players like Marc Jurado, Shola Shoretire, Isak Hansen-Aaroen and Noam Emeran are expected to be involved.

The likes of Alvaro Fernandez, Dan Gore, Rake Vitak and Hannibal Mjebri, who have been with the senior team, could also feature.

Wrexham, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, earned promotion to League Two after winning the National League last term. Their League Two season will kick off on August 5 prior to which they will play two friendlies, against Manchester United and Philadelphia Union II.

Their pre-season preparations got off to a dismal start as they conceded a 5-0 loss to Chelsea last Wednesday. However, they did bounce back, beating Los Angeles Galaxy II 4-0 on Saturday.
