Manchester United confirm Erik ten Hag XI to face Real Betis as Marcus Rashford starts

Manchester United have confirmed that Erik ten Hag has replaced Rasmus Højlund with Marcus Rushford as the club face Real Betis in a pre-season friendly.

Manchester United have completed three pre-season fixtures so far in the summer of 2024, with two more to go. They suffered a 1-0 defeat to Rosenborg but bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Rangers in Scotland, with goals from Amad Diallo and Joe Hugill. New signing Leny Yoro made his unofficial debut after his £52 million transfer from Lille.

In their first USA fixture, United faced Arsenal and lost 2-1 but gave fans something to cheer about by winning the pre-arranged penalty shootout 4-3.
