Manchester United are set to conclude their highly successful pre-season tour of the United States on Sunday, as they take on Everton in the final match of the Premier League Summer Series in Atlanta.
Ruben Amorim’s side has been in excellent form throughout the tournament, securing impressive victories against West Ham (2-1) and Bournemouth (4-1). A positive result in this final fixture will see them crowned champions of the pre-season competition, providing a significant confidence boost.
The biggest news for United fans is that major summer signing Bryan Mbeumo is finally ready to feature. After being carefully managed back to full match fitness, the Cameroonian forward is expected to make his long-awaited, unofficial debut for the club, likely making an appearance from the bench in the second half.
Fellow new arrival Matheus Cunha is also set to return to the starting lineup after being rested during the comprehensive win over Bournemouth. He is expected to slot in behind Rasmus Højlund, who will likely lead the line once again. Goalkeeper Altay Bayındır is also expected to be restored to the starting XI.
Man Utd Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Bayındır; De Ligt, Maguire, Heaven; Dalot, Mainoo, Fernandes, Dorgu; Amad, Cunha; Højlund.
This final friendly offers a chance for Manchester United to cap off a perfect tour and for fans to get their first glimpse of the exciting Mbeumo-Cunha attacking partnership. A confident performance is expected as the team looks to head back to England with a trophy and a huge wave of optimism for the new season.
