On the night of the 24th of July a very interesting match within the International Champions Cup will be held, in which Real Madrid will play against Manchester United. Real has been on top for the past years, won several Champions League cups, while Manchester United was not on the first roles even in the EPL. Bookmakers consider Real clear favorites of the match, but one may argue with the set action line, as unlike the Royals, which are only starting the preparation for the upcoming season, Manchester United have played three matches already, including a derby against Manchester City.
Real Madrid have bought Theo Hernandez and Dani Ceballos, having released Pepe, Fabio Coentrao and James Rodriguez and selling Mariano Diaz. Probably there will be more changes in Real in the nearest future.
Manchester United has had three friendly matches on American soil. At first, Man Utd has met with the MLS teams Los Angeles Galaxy and Real Salt Lake, but the Devils defeated their geographical neighbors from City with a score of 2:0, which like Real have started preparing for the season late. In the match against Man City Lukaku and Rashford scored the goals, Romelu has already scored twice in the net of Man Utd’s opponents in the midseason.
Real Madrid is a team with great capabilities and the strongest squad, but even the greatest need time to gain shape. Unlike the Royals, the Devils have already managed to gain some decent shape, which was clearly seen in the game against Manchester City.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win with +1.0 Asian handicap
