Man United vs Lens Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Man United vs Lens lineups and team news for Saturday’s meeting below.
Man United
The Red Devils lost all of their last 3 friendlies while touring the United States. Their most recent defeat was a 2-3 result vs Dortmund. They also lost 0-2 vs Real Madrid and were stunned 1-3 by Wrexham.
It's obvious that the pre-season so far has been tough going and Man United are desperate to boost their confidence this weekend right before the new Premier League season begins. The fact that United decided to play friendlies both on Saturday and Sunday against strong opponents is an interesting one.
With just 24 hours between matches, it is a bit hard to predict what lineup United will select for the first of two tests in a day. It seems that Ten Haag will give whoever starts vs Lens 80-90 minutes and will do the same on Sunday with the rest of the squad vs Bilbao.
Predicted Lineup: Onana (GK), Dalot, Martinez, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, Eriksen, Bruno, Mount, Antony & Rashford
Lens
Lens had an amazing last season when they surprised everyone by reaching qualification for the Champions League. The small club from France plays without any fear and they like to soak up pressure and hurt teams on counterattacks.
Lens are unbeaten so far this pre-season (W2 D4) but they haven't played teams of the magnitude of Man United yet.
Frankowski and Camara are nursing injuries right now so the options in midfield might be limited.
Predicted Lineup: Samba (GK), Machado, Danso, Gradit, Le Cardinal, Spierings, Fulgini, Cabot, Thomasson, Sottoca & Said
Starting Lineups
Official lineups are usually released approximately one hour before kick-off.
