Both Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo come up against their former clubs tonight as The Champions League and Europa League winners face off in Macedonia in The UEFA Super Cup.
Team News
Zidane has deemed Cristiano Ronaldo fit after returning to training in recent days.
Advert
Mourinho is without the options of Eric Bailly and Phil Jones who are both serving suspension. Rojo, Young and Shaw are all out injured.
Nemanja Matić is set to play his first competitive match for United.
Recent Form
Advert
United are coming off the back of an extremely encouraging pre-season, winning all games bar a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona. With the addition of new signings Lukaku and Matić, they're looking a robust side. However, whether they can bag their first Super Cup Final win since 1991, is yet to be seen.
Madrid, on the other hand, are coming off the back of a pre-season that's raised a few questions. Losing to United on penalties, a battering from City and a defeat to El Classico rivals Barcelona proves they have weaknesses that United could exploit tonight. Zinedine Zidane, however, will be after a stong performance from his side to get one up on ex Madrid boss Mourinho.
