The 6 teams Manchester United are playing in Pre-season

#2 Real Madrid – 31st July

Real Madrid Celebrate After Victory In The Champions League Final Against Liverpool

Manchester United face Real Madrid in the final game of Pre-Season in the United States. Real are reigning UEFA Champions League Champions, and have also won the UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and the Supercopa de Espana last season.

But with the departure of Ronaldo and Zidane, the Spanish giants will be in disarray. There are no notable inclusions to report.

Manchester United have faced Real Madrid twice last season. In the preseason in the US, the game ended 1-1 and United won 2-1 on penalties. In just over a fortnight, the two sides met again in the UEFA Supercup, which Real Madrid won 2-1. The penultimate pre-season game is scheduled for 31st July, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.

Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.

Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
