After defeating Melbourne Victory 4-1 during their second pre-season fixture of the summer, Manchester United now turn their attention to Premier League opposition Crystal Palace.
Manchester United have opened their pre-season with two strong results, after also defeating Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side 4-0 in Bangkok last Tuesday.
Two stand out performers from the Melbourne Victory victory were Jadon Sancho and Zidane Iqbal, who together dazzled crowds with their displays.
Manchester United will once again go to battle on the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground, looking to continue their rich vein of form.

Speaking after the Melbourne victory, Erik ten Hag commented:
"[They’re] A really compact opponent, they started really [far] back waiting for us so it was really difficult to create chances," Ten Hag told MUTV after the game.
"Also if you get down in the first minute, something is also wrong, but I think that the team reacted really good, especially down the right side.
"We created a lot; I think we created three or four really good chances already before half-time and we get our reward when we turned [it] around."
