Club football is back in action with another round of matches this week as Real Madrid lock horns with Erik ten Hag's Manchester United side in a massive fixture at the NRG Stadium in Houston on Wednesday.
Real Madrid vs Manchester United Preview
Manchester United finished in third place in the Premier League standings last season and have made considerable progress under Ten Hag over the past year. The Red Devils slumped to a shock 3-1 defeat at the hands of Wrexham in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, secured a second-place finish in the La Liga table last season and have not been at their best in recent months. Los Blancos edged AC Milan to a 3-2 victory this week and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.
