Manchester United face their first real test of their pre-season tour of the United States as they take on Premier :League rivals Arsenal in Los Angeles in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Erik ten Hag’s side have already had friendlies this summer against Norwegian outfit Rosenborg and Scottish giants Rangers but will now face the Gunners after making the trip over the Atlantic. Following the Arsenal clash, United will face off against Real Betis and Liverpool over the pond before travelling back to England in order to prepare for their huge clash against Manchester City in the Community Shied at Wembley next month.
Ahead of the match, Ten Hag highlighted his hunger to beat Mikel Arteta’s side, even in a pre-season friendly, as he looked to pump his side up ahead of the clash.
He told reporters: “We are very pleased to be here and to bring, I think, top Premier League football to LA. And I think for all the fans it’s a great opportunity as we are not often so close because the season doesn’t allow us to come over more often.
