Manchester United vs Inter Milan: Predicted Red Devils team for International Champions Cup clash in Singapore
Manchester United have made a perfect start to pre-season ahead of what promises to be an enthralling 2019/20 season.
Fresh off a disappointing Premier League finish, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer set about revamping his squad so the Red Devils were in a far healthier position.
In came Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, with Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes also top targets.
United embarked on a pre-season tour to Australia, which saw them beat Perth Glory and Leeds United with consummate ease but the level of competition is about to be raised.
Solskjaer’s side will now compete in the the International Champions Cup – a competition which may be their best bet to secure silverware this season.
The Red Devils take on Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan – a side also in a period of transition.

New signing James has started both of the club’s pre-season matches this summer and could be rested, with the likes of Chris Smalling, Jesse Lingard and Nemanja Matic expected to come in for the Inter clash.
