Manchester United is going head to head with Crystal Palace starting on 19 Jul 2022 at 10:10 UTC . The match is a part of the Club Friendly Games

Manchester United will be bidding to make it three victories from their opening three pre-season matches when they take on fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

The Red Devils have beaten Liverpool and Melbourne Victory in their two friendlies this summer, while Palace will enter this contest off the back of a 2-0 loss to Liverpool in Singapore on Friday.

Man United opened their preparations for the 2022-23 campaign with a 4-0 victory over Liverpool last Tuesday before recording a 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory three days later, and they now have two more games in Australia against fellow Premier League sides Palace and Aston Villa.

Head coach Erik ten Hag will not be getting too carried away with the two pre-season successes, but there have been plenty of positive signs, and the fact that the team have managed to score eight goals in Cristiano Ronaldo‘s absence will have pleased with the new management team.

Anthony Martial has now scored in back-to-back matches, while new signing Tyrell Malacia has impressed at left-back, and the Red Devils will now round off their tour against Palace and Villa before heading back to Europe for friendlies against Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.

Man United will then open their 2022-23 Premier League campaign at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on August 7, and Ten Hag will hope to have a couple more new players on board by that point.

Christian Eriksen was confirmed as the team’s second signing of the summer on Friday, while a deal for Ajax’s Lisandro Martinez is said to be on the verge of going through, but neither player will join up with the squad in Australia, with their debuts instead potentially coming against either Atletico or Rayo.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Rashford, Fernandes, Sancho; Martial

Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
