Manchester United confirm Erik ten Hag XI vs Rangers as Leny Yoro STARTS

Manchester United have confirmed that Leny Yoro will start as they face Rangers in the second of five pre-season friendlies across the summer of 2024.

Manchester United‘s pre-season tour kicked off with a 1-0 defeat to Rosenborg, but the main objective was to build match fitness for key players. Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount, Casemiro, and others each played 45 minutes as they prepare for the new season.

Next, the team will face Rangers in Scotland on Saturday afternoon before travelling to the USA. There, they will take on Arsenal, Real Betis, and Liverpool. Following their US tour, United will compete in the Community Shield against Manchester City on Saturday, August 10.
