Manchester United and Real Madrid have constantly been mentioned in the same breath due to their global reach. Apart from that, both clubs have constantly been engaged in a conversation in the past decade due to a few high-profile personalities.

Cristiano Ronaldo became the world's most expensive player in 2008 when he signed for Real Madrid from United. Rumours of his unhappiness due to the tax situation continue to rumble and the Portuguese has always reiterated his desire to play at Old Trafford once again. Thus, if Ronaldo plays a part, it will be interesting to gauge his body language.

United gaffer Mourinho ended his Madrid reign in 2013 on a sour note and Sergio Ramos will be one of the few remaining who would want to prove a point to the former boss.

Real Madrid have been trying to sign de Gea for years now

Finally, Los Blancos have been trying to sign Red Devils' shot-stopper David de Gea for years now. Further, Madrid's links with the new kid on the block, AS Monaco's Kylian Mbappe, could see Gareth Bale switch to England, with United interested in him.

Thus, there are a number of eventful meetings on the cards in the UEFA Super Cup.
