Preseason friendlies: Manchester United vs. Atlético Madrid—probable lineups

A high-profile friendly in Sweden between two giants of world soccer, Manchester United and Atlético Madrid. The Red Devils continue their Scandinavian tour and face their toughest friendly yet against Simeone’s team: both sides are missing their players who recently returned from the World Cup in North America. The match is scheduled for 3 p.m. in Solna.

In the spotlight for United is Zirkzee, who is rumored to be on his way out of the Red Devils (Juventus is reportedly interested in him). Carrick will start him as the center forward alongside Mbeumo, Lacey, and Dorgu in the attacking midfield trio. Mount and Santos will feature in midfield, while Yoro and Shaw will play as fullbacks.

Simeone will field the Lookman-Cubo attacking duo, with Koke and Mendoza on the wings. The fullbacks will be Llorente and Ruggeri. The Madrid side is coming off a decisive victory a few days ago against Getafe.
