Following injuries to Rasmus Hojulund and new signing Leny Yoro, Erik ten Hag will now have to use the remaining preseason games to see who can potentially fill in. Even with a contract until 2026 finalized, Ten Hag will have high expectations as his job could be on the line without United showing improvement in the Premier League this season. There is promise among young players like Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, but they need support to help the Red Devils back towards the top of the league.

Storylines

Manchester United: Still looking for more reinforcements in the transfer market, new midfielders could help, but so could getting a healthy Mason Mount. After joining United from Chelsea, he only appeared in 18 games in all competitions last season scoring one goal and assisting another. Getting a healthy season out of him, will go a long way to improving United's depth.

Real Betis: After not making it into the match against Liverpool, Johnny Cardoso could appear in this friendly for Betis. After breaking into the team last season, he's looking to cement a starting role in his first full season at the club while also pushing for a starting role internationally with the United States men's national team. This Betis team will look slightly different this season, but there is talent in the squad as they make a return to European play.

Prediction

xWith the injuries that United have suffered, they won't have enough to keep up in the match losing to Real Betis. Pick: Manchester United 1, Real Betis 2
