Manchester United face their first big test of preseason on Saturday when they face Atletico Madrid in Stockholm.
A defeat to Wrexham was followed by a 5-0 win over Rosenborg in the Red Devils' first two games of their tour of Scandinavia.
This will be Atleti's second game of their 2026/27 preparations after their 4-1 win over Getafe in a behind-closed-doors friendly at their training ground.
Both teams will be missing World Cup stars who are still on a post-tournament break, so there could be an opportunity for fringe players and younger talents to impress at Strawberry Arena.

Prematch
8 a.m. - Although neither team will be at full strength today, with many first-team stars still recovering from their World Cup exploits, this should still be a good workout for both sides. Atleti were 1-0 winners when they met in a friendly four years ago.
7 a.m. - Manchester United play their third preseason game today, and it's by far their most difficult. After a 1-0 loss to Wrexham and a 5-0 victory over Rosenborg , they face Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid in Stockholm.
