This weekend's Spanish friendly double-header, against Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano, will be shown live on the United App, MUTV and ManUtd.com.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has selected his starting XI to take on Atletico Madrid in Oslo.

The Reds flew in from the UK yesterday, and will be looking to record a fourth pre-season win when they run out at the Ullevaal Stadion, following recent successes against Liverpool, Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace.

The manager has split the first-team squad in two, because we have a further pre-season fixture at Old Trafford tomorrow (31 July), when we host another La Liga outfit: Rayo Vallecano.
 
Kick-off is scheduled for 13:45 BST at the Ullevaal Stadion and you can watch an hour of build-up, plus the full game, exclusively live on MUTV.
 
The manager will be looking for a returning to winning ways, as we gear up for next weekend's Premier League opener against Brighton & Hove Albion (7 August).
Scott McTominay returns to the starting XI against Atletico, after missing the final game of Tour 2022 against Aston Villa, while Harry Maguire, the captain, partners Victor Lindelof in central defence.

Tyrell Malacia gets a chance to shine at left-back, while new signings Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez start on the bench, and could both make their first-team debuts if introduced at some stage.
