Manchester United v Fiorentina: Line-ups, stats and preview


Manchester United v Fiorentina match preview

United complete their pre-season with a friendly against Serie A side Fiorentina, as Ruben Amorim continues his rebuild at Old Trafford.

A deal for striker Benjamin Sesko has been agreed to complete a recamp of the front line – one that was needed after United’s awful season last time out.

Fiorentina drew 0-0 with Nottingham Forest in midweek and are building up towards the Serie A season which starts at the end of the month.

Last year they finished sixth and have plenty of new faces including former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko.

Prediction

United are still building a new side – with Sesko yet to sign – and a strong pre-season so far could be another false dawn. But they should have enough to win this one.
