Queens Park Rangers vs Manchester United prediction, preview, team news and more | Club friendlies 2021

Manchester United will travel to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium to face Queens Park Rangers in their second pre-season friendly.

Manchester United's youngsters put on a good show against Derby County last weekend in what was their pre-season opener. The Red Devils won the game 2-1 thanks to goals from Tahith Chong and Facundo Pellistri.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer put the occasion to good use testing out as many as 23 players to make sure everyone had sufficient minutes under their belt. This will be the first meeting between Manchester United and Queens Park Rangers since January 2015.

Meanwhile, Queens Park Rangers will be hoping that they can stake a claim for a playoff spot in the 2021-22 season. QPR beat Portsmouth 2-1 in a friendly two weeks ago. They will have their work cut out against a formidable Manchester United side that is still without some of their star players.

The result won't matter much to either side but Mark Warburton will be hoping that matches such as these can really help with QPR's pre-season preparations. Queens Park Rangers will play two more friendlies, against Cambridge United and Leicester City, before they kick off their new Championship season against Milwall.
